APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – An Appleton business sustained $200,000 worth of damage following a fir early this morning.
Crews were called to an oil change/vehicle repair shop in the 2100 block of S. Schaefer St. just after 2 a.m. for a report of smoke and flames coming from the building.
Firefighters used aerial operations to put the fire out.
No one was hurt. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
The fire comes on the first day of the Appleton Fire annual “Keep the Wreath Green Campaign.”
During the holiday season, wreaths are hung outside fire stations throughout the city. For every commercial or residential fire that occurs, a red bulb is added to the wreaths.
The campaign is designed to promote fire safety and reduce the number of fires during the holiday season.
“Keep the Wreath” ends New Year’s Day.
