Firefighters battle more than just garage fire in Rosiere

For the third time in 36 hours, firefighters in the southern portion of Door County answered the call of duty, this time in the unincorporated community of Rosiere Thursday afternoon. Emergency personnel began arriving at the the residence on County X near St. Hubert Catholic Church shortly after 1:15 p.m. By the time additional units could arrive to assist in the efforts, the attached garage had become fully engulfed. Brussels-Union-Gardner Assistant Fire Chief Jim Wautier says the home suffered mostly smoke damage, but the garage is a total loss.

Personnel from the Door County Sheriff's Department, Door County Emergency Services, Wisconsin Public Services, and the fire departments of Sturgeon Bay, Nasewaupee, Southern Door, New Franken, Algoma, Luxemburg, and Casco all responded to the fire. For many of the firefighters, it was the third time they had to respond to a fire that lasted more than an hour in less-than-ideal conditions. Wautier says it has been a rough 36 hours for the area's volunteer fire departments.

Other than some people needing to get treated for smoke inhalation suffered while rescuing the homeowner's three cats, there were no deaths or injuries in the fire.
