Does anyone know what happened to the two new trucks. Milwaukee fire just got I have not seen them in a few months.

Its sad seeing how run down this part of the city has become since the 70s.

Yup..its always the same people who destroy instead of build..

@@michaelsteven1090 How do you know it was intentional? Are you psychic? These houses are likely to have 100-year-old knob-and-tube wiring inside the walls, never updated (because profit-driven absentee landlords) and when it goes bad from age...

Good job getting the various angles.

[@IncidentResponse]

Thank you! It’s important to show different angles of the scene for the public and the firefighters working the scene.

@@IncidentResponse In my first career I was a print reporter/photographer/editor who did a lot of police & fire-beat duty back in the day (i.e. film cameras) and fire coverage was always one of the toughest situations, especially in winter. Establishing good relations with the departments helped a lot.

I have never before seen barbed wire along the top of a chain linked fence in the back of a house. This must be a really bad neighborhood in Milwaukee.

[@DByers-ci5kr]

The fence is around a commercial property behind the houses. The neighborhood, Walker's Point, has suffered but it's not as bad as it looks here.

En qué parte de la ciudad fue?

[@blessedmwsmom]

Houses should never be built so darn close to one another! For this exact reason.😔

[@xheralt]

This exact reason wasn't a concern 100 or so years ago when these houses were built. Housing for industrial workers, within reasonable walking distance of the foundries, of the former Allen-Bradley Corporation, of the Port of Milwaukee...THAT was the priority. They originated as affordable lower middle class/starting housing, and solid as their old-school craftsmanship is, that's ultimately all they are.

Hahaha that's what you get for living so close to your neighbor!
