STREAM ON HULU. THIS IS WISN 12 NEWS WITH BREAKING NEWS. AND THAT BREAKING NEWS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW OUT OF WALWORTH COUNTY. A LARGE FIRE AT A PET RESORT IN DELAVAN. NEWS CHOPPER 12 MATT SALEMME IS OVER THE FIRE RIGHT NOW. HAPPENING ON HIGHWAY 50 NEAR HIGHWAY 67. MATT. JUST MOMENTS AGO, THIS FIRE WAS UPGRADED TO A THREE ALARM FIRE. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING FROM YOUR VANTAGE POINT? YEAH. SO ALL THE BUILDINGS ARE CONNECTED BY LITTLE HALLWAYS, AND THEY’RE ALL MADE OF ALUMINUM, SO THEY WEREN’T ABLE TO GET ANY WATER ON IT UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL DOWN SOME OF THE WALLS WITH THIS FRONT END LOADER HERE, YOU CAN SEE THEY’RE PULLING AWAY SOME OF THE ALUMINUM. SO NOW THEY’RE ABLE TO GET ONE OF THE WATER TOWERS AND A COUPLE OF THE CREWS WITH HANDHELD HOSES TO GET SOME WATER ON THE BLAZE. AND ALSO THEY BROKE THE HALLWAY THAT CONNECTS THIS BUILDING TO THE OTHER ONES SO THAT IT COULDN’T SPREAD INTO THE EXTRA BUILDINGS. NOW YOU CAN SEE THESE BUILDINGS HERE ALL HAVE KENNELS ON THEM, AND YOU CAN SEE INTO OUR OUTDOOR ACCESS TO THOSE KENNELS. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD HAVE SOME ANIMALS IN SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS AS WELL. BUT PART OF THIS BUILDING WAS USED FOR BOAT STORAGE. YOU CAN SEE THEY WERE SCRAMBLING WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE TO GET ALL THE BOATS OUT, SO THAT NONE OF THEM WERE IN THERE IN CASE THE FIRE SPREAD AND THERE’S ALSO A HANDFUL OF DOGS THAT ARE SITTING HERE IN THIS LITTLE HALLWAY HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A STRESSFUL TIME. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THEM SITTING UP ON THE PORCH WITH THEIR NOSE PRESSED AGAINST THE DOOR THERE. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD USE A COUPLE OF PETS. YEAH, AND MATT, THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE LOLLIPOP’S PET RESORT THERE ON HIGHWAY 50, IN THE TOWN OF DELAVAN. MADISON MOORE IS ALSO ON THE GROUND. SHE’S REPORTING, TALKING WITH WITNESSES AS WELL, SAYING THAT ONE OF THE HAY BARNS ON THE PROPERTY CAUGHT FIRE AT THIS HOUR? NO WORD ON IF ANY PEOPLE OR ANIMALS HAVE BEEN HARMED.
