NEW LONDON, Wis. (WSAU) — New London firefighters had to battle a second major structure fire in three days.
The blaze began Sunday just before 6:30 in the morning at Euhardy’s Sales and Service. New London Fire Department Captain Don Conat says a motorist on Highway 45 spotted the flames through the window and called 911. When firefighters arrived, they found flames in the parts room and heavy smoke throughout the building. The fire also damaged the attic over the repair shop.
New London firefighters were assisted by Bear Creek, Hortonville, and Shiocton-Bovina departments, as well as the Salvation Army. The shop was not occupied at the time, so there were no injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
New London Fire Department had a busy weekend. They also responded to a house fire at the Bret and Jana Lea Romberg residence on New Year’s Day, which destroyed the house and garage.
