MILWAUKEE — A person is dead after an apartment fire on Milwaukee's east side on Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
The Milwaukee Fire Department responded to Cambridge and North around 8:45 p.m. Crews battled flames on the fourth story of the building.
Crews found two patients inside one of the apartments. The medical examiner confirms one male has died from his injuries.
"The gentleman who passed away, I want to send my condolences to his family because that's sad," says Roselinda Lloyd, who also lives in the apartment building.
125 people were evacuated and safely got out of the building.
"I kept on hearing banging and I opened up the door and the hallway was black and the firefighters were just getting ready to hit my door," adds David Sanders, a resident of the building.
