A Milwaukee fire station on the city's south side could reopen if funds for the fire department are approved.
After a fatal fire in April not far from the shuttered station, Fire Chief Aaron Lipski pushed for its reopening, Fox 6 reported.
"We had a 5-minute response time. This is what we have been telling you. This is the difference," said Chief Lipski after the fire that left a woman dead and a firefighter injured.
The mayor's proposed budget for 2025 would increase fire department funds by 4.6%. About 20% of the budget goes towards the fire department.
