Tragedy was narrowly evaded in Delafield on Thursday night when firefighters successfully rescued a resident from an apartment building blaze that left all occupants homeless. The fire, which was reported at approximately 11 p.m., wrought havoc on a lower unit at the Parquelynn Village Apartments on Vista Park Court, as per information from FOX6 News.
Upon arrival, responding teams, including over one dozen surrounding fire, police and rescue departments, coordinated a mission to evacuate the eight-unit building. An unsettling electrical smell and smoke precipitated the call, Delafield Police Chief Landon Nyren said in a statement obtained by WISN. The rapid intervention of fire personnel ensured no fatalities or life-threatening injuries were incurred.
All residents of the affected building are now facing the stark reality of displacement. Assistance is being provided by the American Red Cross and Salvation Army to support those in need, as reported by CBS58. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it shows how quickly disasters can happen.
