Sheboygan Fire: Smoke Alarms Alert Sleeping Resident To Fire Monday Afternoon

Sheboygan, Wis. (WHBL) – One person was displaced after a fire at a home and business in the 1400 block of Union Avenue Monday afternoon. The Sheboygan Fire Department responded around 5:30 to find smoke and fire at the rear of the building. Firefighters went inside to make sure everybody was out of the building, and then knocked down the fire in the attic and porch of the building. Battalion Chief Jamon Ingelese says the resident that called 911 had been sleeping when the fire started, but was alerted thanks to working smoke detectors inside the residence.
