Crews battle large fire at waste management transfer station in Milwaukee
CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee fire crews responded to a large fire at a waste management transfer station Wednesday night, Sept. 2, off N. Industrial Road.
Firefighters responded to the station around 5 p.m., according to the Department of Public Works (DPW); the transfer station was closed at the time of the incident.
DPW says garbage trucks bring collected material to the station before it's taken to a waste management facility.
The fire department said crews were wrapping up at the scene as of 8:45 p.m., and no injuries were reported.
DPW says while the Self-Help Center on Industrial Road was unaffected, it will be closed Thursday, Sept. 3, due to its proximity to the fire.
The Lincoln Avenue Self-Help Center will remain open during normal operating hours Thursday.
Officials say the cause of the fire remains under investigation, and the extent of damage has not yet been determined.
