Smoke Returns to Burned-Out School | Milwaukee News

Just days after a catastrophic five-alarm fire destroyed Lincoln Avenue School, firefighters returned to the site—this time responding to a mysterious smoke report that vanished before arrival. With the building already deemed structurally unsound, crews battled the haze from afar, leaving the connection to the original blaze unclear. The incident underscores Milwaukee’s dire fire safety crisis: only 20 of 140 schools have sprinklers. Compounding the tragedy, the Historic Preservation Commission approved demolition of the 109-year-old school, citing irreparable damage. Before demolition begins, officials must address potential asbestos and lead hazards. Students will be relocated while the district searches for a new site—and hopes to salvage some of the original stone and brick.
