New Berlin firefighters spent part of their Saturday backing up the City of Brookfield at a structure fire on Brookdale Drive, officials said. The response focused on a home listed as 19060 Brookdale Drive in Waukesha County and pulled in multiple mutual-aid units. At the time of New Berlin’s update, agencies had not released any details on injuries, the extent of the damage or what caused the fire.
In a Facebook post, the New Berlin Fire Department said its crews were “assisting the City of Brookfield Fire Department” at the incident and confirmed the address as 19060 Brookdale Dr. According to the New Berlin Fire Department, the update was published Saturday while firefighters were still on scene.
How Mutual Aid Under MABAS Division 106 Works
The Waukesha County Communications Center functions as the dispatch hub for MABAS Division 106, the county’s Mutual Aid Box Alarm System that coordinates pre-scripted responses when extra engines, trucks or manpower are needed. Public Division 106 box-card documents outline those pre-planned assignments and list New Berlin among the resources that can be sent to Brookfield-area structure fires. The county’s explanation of the system and its response templates are detailed in the Division 106 box cards.
What Officials Say And What Comes Next
Officials have not yet released more complete information about any casualties, the level of property damage or the suspected cause of the fire, and that kind of investigative detail typically follows the initial emergency response.
