There was a small fire at the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s office Saturday.
Sheriff Dan Hartwig reports a fire alarm began to sound in the office located at 1025 South 9th Street in Manitowoc at 6:00 AM. Employees quickly discovered a small fire in an HVAC control panel on the second floor in a mechanical room on the administrative side of the building.
Two portable fire extinguishers were used and the fire was quickly put out. Hartwig says there was no danger to the jail or inmate population.
He thanked employees for their quick response in putting out the fire, and also thanked the city Fire Department for their response and assistance.
