Garage fire leaves family homeless

A Town of Saukville garage fire on Memorial Day has left the owners displaced.

Grafton Assistant Fire Chief Matthew Karpinski, who oversees administrative duties for the Saukville Fire Department, said the fire occurred at approximately 2 p.m. Monday, May 31.

“When the first units arrived to the scene they saw the fire was fully involved,” he said, noting that Saukville firefighters upgraded the alarm for other departments to assist.

Karpinski said there were no people inside the garage or an attached house, but six dogs and a cat were rescued from the property.
