MILWAUKEE — Neighbors say they woke up to the smell of smoke from a school building fire in Milwaukee Thursday morning.
That building sits at the corner of 39th and Lisbon. Several firetrucks and crews from Milwaukee and Wauwatosa fought the blaze for hours. Flames could be seen from the second-floor windows, and three ladder trucks were used to put them out.
TMJ4's Brendyn Jones spoke to Deanna Young, who lives in the building next to where the fire started.
"You could smell it," she said. "My house is all full of smoke. Ended up with the firemen banging on my door... When I came on the porch they were kicking the door into the building next door to my house."
Milwaukee Fire says the cause of the fire is still under investigation. While police were on the scene, MPD says this was not an arson.
