An outbreak of fire yesterday in Delavan displaced 29 residents when their condominium complex went up in flames, according to reports by local agencies.
The blaze, which started at an apartment near 2nd and County Rd around 3:20 p.m., drew over 20 agencies to the scene to combat the emergency, Delavan Fire Chief Tim O'Neill coordinated the response ensuring the fire was brought under control by 4:30 p.m.; fortunately, there were no injuries reported, however six pets were recovered and are safe as FOX6Now noted.
In the wake of the incident, displaced individuals are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross, as was mentioned by multiple sources including TMJ4, which also reported that the fire seems to have originated from the second story of the building.
While the flames fiercely enveloped middle units and even extended to the attic, charring remnants of the day-to-day lives once bustling within, "the fire started on a balcony and is not suspicious," Fire Chief Tim O'Neill told WISN, as investigators continue their work to pinpoint the exact cause of the fire.
