WHITEWATER, Wis. — Officials said at least 18 different fire crews responded to a large fire at John’s Disposal Services in Whitewater.
Crews arrived on the scene just before 10 p.m. Sunday night and found one building engulfed in flames. Because of the fire, Highway U was shut down between Fremont and Highway D.
The road has since reopened, however the public is asked to avoid the area. Fire crews were still on scene monitoring for hot spots as of 8:30 a.m. Monday.
Whitewater Fire Department officials said no employees were present when the fire was reported, and no injuries have been reported. Trash and recycling pickup in the City of Whitewater is expected to stay on schedule.
