MILWAUKEE — All U-Haul customers from the first level of the D building were contacted to inspect their units following a fire that occurred on Monday at their store at 1500 S. 1st Street, U-Haul said in a statement on Thursday.

U-Haul is also providing moving help for any customers who were affected by the fire.

A 2nd-alarm fire broke out in one of the shelf-storage buildings at the property, according to U-Haul.

Around 25 units were damaged by the fire, with the remaining first-level units having water, smoke, or soot damage. Some units on the second and third levels may also have these damages.

This is the same property that had a fire in January, with U-Haul stating that the two fires are not connected and happened in different parts of the complex.

U-Haul also stated that they are working on securing the building for their customers and getting power restored.
