(OnFocus) Area fire departments were called to reports of a fire coming from the roof of Wiskerchen Cheese on County Road H in Auburndale shortly after 5 p.m. on Dec. 19.
Responding fire departments were Auburndale, Hewitt, Richfield, Arpin, Stratford, and Sherry.
“It burned into a void area on the roof, which made it difficult to extinguish,” said Hewitt Fire Chief Brian Hafermann. The fire was under control in about 20 minutes and crews were on scene for three hours. Crews addressed hot spots by scraping char off with an axe and slowly applying water to cool them off, said Auburndale Fire Chief Todd Bores.
No one was injured in the incident. Auburndale fire department was first on scene and other agencies were dispatched through automatic aid. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
