A devastating fire broke out in an 85-unit apartment building in Milwaukee on Mother's Day, killing four people and critically injuring at least four others. The blaze, which firefighters reported to be of a five-alarm status, led to significant evacuations and rescue operations, with about 30 people saved from the building. Built in 1968, the structure did not have a sprinkler system, a fact that Milwaukee Fire Chief Aaron Lipski highlighted as a crucial factor in the tragedy. Approximately 200 residents were displaced by the incident, prompting support from emergency services and local organizations.
