BROTHERTOWN, WI (WLUK-WTAQ)- Bobbers Up in Brothertown was once a local hangout but is now a total loss.
“We got the call at about 4 a.m. this morning of a structure fire fully involved,” Town of Calumet fire chief Brian Schussman said.
No one was inside the building at the time of the fire. The owners are on vacation in Mexico.
The building was also home to some residents who live upstairs but they too were not home at the time of the fire.
Several crews arrived to put out the flames and say the weather created some challenges.
“We did run into icy conditions in the parking lots and stuff around the building, we had some guys slipping but everybody is okay,” Schussman said.
Fire crews were unable to enter the building to investigate because it was too dangerous. Instead, the local tavern was torn down.
“We’re not able to go inside because the building is not structurally sound anymore. We actually have a high hope in now digging some hot spots apart,” Schussman said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
