Suamico fire station receives minor damage after vehicle hits building

SUAMICO, Wis. (WBAY) - Fire officials say no one was inside a Suamico fire station when a vehicle hit it Tuesday evening.

According to the Suamico Fire Department, firefighters who were at a nearby training facility quickly responded to the station, located on Riverside Drive, when it was hit at 7:30 p.m.

Officials say the male driver, who they say is not a firefighter, was treated at the scene before being released to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.

The building received minor damage during the incident, which is being investigated by the Sheriff’s Office.

As previously reported, officials with the Village of Suamico approved the sale of its firehouse earlier this year.
