A fire badly damaged a building in Howard.
Howard Fire Rescue Fire Chief Dennis Staeven says firefighters were called to a property in the 2400 block of O’Connor Road for the fire that was immediately upgraded to a working still alarm fire.
Howard and the Packerland Fire District arrived to find heavy smoke and flames from the building’s roof.
The fire was under control within an hour. Crews stayed on the scene for about two hours to put out hotspots.
No one was injured, but the building and its contents sustained about $750,000 in damage.
The cause is still under investigation and is being investigated by the Brown County Fire Investigation Task Force.
Howards Fire Rescue thanks the Packerland Fire District and other fire departments from Green, Ashwaubenon, De Pere, Hobart, Brown County Sheriffs, and the Brown County Communications Center.
