Historic De Pere Building Collapses Due to Fire

A historic building in De Pere is no longer standing. Fire crews were sent to the building a 100 South Broadway at around 12:30 this morning and found smoke coming from the Ogan Restaurant on the First floor. Despite their best efforts, the blaze quickly spread throughout the over 100-year-old structure, which eventually collapsed. Crews then shifted their focus on protecting the surrounding buildings. There were about 20 people living on the second floor, but officials report that all of them were evacuated safely. The structure was the home to a yoga studio and photography business as well. The Red Cross is assisting those who are displaced due to the inferno.
