6/9/23 Fire at FDL Tavern
9 June 2023 News
Officials with Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue say improperly discarded smoking materials in a plastic pail caused a fire at Fat Joe’s Bar early Friday morning. Officials say employees of the tavern at 15 West Division Street put out the initial fire with an extinguisher. But the fire department ended up being dispatched to the bar about 1:15 am when flames spread into an outside wall. Fire and smoke were coming from the inside of the wall. Fire crews had to tear out some of the wall to get to the blaze. The tavern had been evacuated. Employees and patrons were allowed back inside after the smoke had cleared out. The fire department reminds people to make sure smoking materials are out before they are placed in a fireproof container. (Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue Logo.)
