MILWAUKEE — A large police and fire response converged near an apartment building in downtown Milwaukee early Friday morning.
Officials say the blaze began on the fourth floor of the Chalet on the River building at 2nd and Plankinton inside a utility closet.
Building manager New Land Property management LLP says in an email to residents obtained by WTMJ the fire was put out with no incident or injury.
As of late this morning, the building was cleared for nearly all residents to return to their homes.
19 apartments are currently without power; 14 of those units will have it restored Friday afternoon, while 5 apartments will not have power restored until next week. Management says they are arranging for options for them to stay at other apartments within New Land management.
