When fire crews arrived on Tuesday, they found a large number of cardboard boxes and plastic milk crates on fire. The fire had also spread to an exterior generator, extending up the exterior wall and roof.

According to the Milwaukee Fire Department, wind gusts were "directly impacting the extent, intensity, and spread of the fire."

Video appears to show that the fire was focused around a large pile of pallets at the back of the store. The fire was extinguished by noon on Tuesday. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Pick 'n Save issued the following statement on Thursday:

“We want to thank our incredible team of associates, business partners, and the Village of West Milwaukee for their support as we worked to quickly reopen. Our team is committed to providing a Full, Fresh and Friendly shopping experience at this store location, we look forward to seeing the community in-store soon.”
