Building destroyed in fire complete loss

I stopped by the scene of last night's fire at the old Krispy Kreme building on the corner of College Ave and Bluemound Dr. The building was under renovation with Aspen Dental set to move in as part of it's expansion. I spoke with the project manager (who happens to be my cousin). He said the building is a complete loss and will need to be leveled. He said he believes plans are for a rebuild.

The assistant fire chief was there as well. He indicated the wind was blowing so hard, crews had their hands full trying to contain the fire so it wouldn't spread to nearby buildings. Kudos to our fire department!
