A Christmas morning fire in Greenfield, Wisconsin, destroyed a 1967 apartment building, displacing 46 residents with no injuries, amid concerns over outdated fire safety laws.
A Christmas morning fire in Greenfield, Wisconsin, destroyed a 1967 apartment building near Milwaukee, displacing 46 residents but causing no injuries, despite some occupants being rescued from windows.
The building lacked sprinklers, as state law exempts pre-1973 structures, a gap highlighted by a new Milwaukee ordinance requiring landlords to disclose fire safety details before leases.
The fire, which began around 7:30 a.m., prompted a large emergency response and follows a similar deadly incident in May.
Officials cite the need for stronger safety standards, while state lawmakers consider expanding sprinkler requirements.
The cause remains under investigation.
