LAKE TOMAHAWK, Wis. (WSAW) -- No injuries have been reported but Lake Tomahawk fire crews confirm an airport storage hanger was destroyed by a fire Monday night.
Emergency crews first received word of the fire at Dolhun Field Airport around 8 p.m. Monday, according to the Lake Tomahawk Fire Command Chief Doug Rehm. By the time first responders arrived, the building was engulfed.
While there were no planes inside the hanger at the private airport, Rehm says RVs, boats, and other equipment were destroyed in the building which is considered a total loss. The cause is still under investigation.
It took the work of eight responding fire departments, including two ladder trucks, to get the blaze under control. All but one department is made up of volunteers. Due to the weather and water flow, conditions were icy but an area was set up for firefighters to keep warm. Fire crews were expected to remain on scene overnight to monitor any potential hot spots and flare ups.
