Working fire in Wausau, WI – December 5, 2017

Wausau (WI) firefighters responded for a fire around 6:00am Tuesday (12/5/17) to Central Storage and Warehouse located on the 1200 block of West Street.

The shape of the building made it difficult to fight the fire as did cold temperatures causing the water to freeze and create slippery spots.

Officials said there was concern for a building to the east because the facility stores hay.

Wausau Battalion Chief Paul Czarapata said units were going to cover that hay with tarps so that embers don’t create another giant building on fire.

No one was inside when the fire happened and no one on scene was hurt. 

Multiple departments responded to the scene, including SAFER, Kronenwetter, Maine, and Merrill Wausau.
