MENOMONEE FALLS (WITI) — Firefighters in Menomonee Falls on Sunday, April 28th responded to a fire at an apartment complex.

Officials say the fire broke out just after 6:00 a.m. at an apartment complex located at N81 W15085 Appleton Avenue.

Officials say the fire started in the kitchen of one apartment and spread to the entire unit. Four or five other apartments were damaged by smoke and/or water.

Officials say one person was hurt with minor burn injuries, and another person was rescued by ladder.

The fire chief estimated about $30,000 in damages to the building, but expects that number to go off.

GERMANTOWN (WITI) — Dozens of people gathered for a rally against heroin on a street corner in Germantown on Saturday, April 27th. Most participants have lost a loved one to the drug, or even used heroin themselves.

“I’m here to let all of the parents know, that this is real,” says Julie Berg. Berg lost her son, Tyler, to a heroin overdose in 2012. Berg says her son once used the drug in a grocery parking lot, not far from where a group met to rally to raise awareness Saturday along Good Hope Road.

“Awareness is everything, and I’m just really glad that we’re out here letting people know that we need to do something about it,” says Berg.

Project Second Start, a Washington county non-profit group, says heroin usage in the suburbs in Southeast Wisconsin is on the rise.

EAST TROY (WITI) — Six people are displaced following a two-alarm building fire in downtown East Troy Friday morning, April 26th.

According to officials, the fire broke out just before 2 a.m. in a building that contained an antique shop and a home health care office on the first floor and four apartment units on the second.

Officials say a barber shop next the building also sustained damage after the fire spread.

“I could smell the smoke.  My neighbor knocked on the door and told me to get out because there was a fire,” said 66-year-old Kay Riek.

She is one of six residents who lived in the apartments.  They were able to escape unharmed, but unfortunately, four pets (a cat, two snakes and a lizard) did not make it out alive.

“Everything is totaled. All my clothes are gone, all my stuff is gone. All I got is the stuff on my back,” Reik said.
