EIGHT WALWORTH COUNTY, WISCONSIN, FIREFIGHTERS WERE injured at a major fire Friday when an aerial operating a master stream brushed along a high-voltage electric line.  All of them were transported with non-life threatening injuries, but one of them remains hospitalized with burns.  Most of them were people who were on the ground but in contact with the truck when it happened.

The fire began at 2 pm when a grease pit under the broiler flamed up.  One of the restaurant’s cooks was there and he acitvated the Ansul system before initiating an evacuation of the popular tavern.  By the time the FD arrived, the fire had extended rapidly.  

The 6-alarm fire completely destroyed the Mulligan’s Sports Bar & Restaurant, a popular business in the community of Delavan.
