Destructive City Fire Sweeps Mo ar Inotto Wisconsin

Marinette Wisconsin October 21 A devastating fire struck the city around 1 am destroying over forty buildings and one entire block on Marin street.

The incident is blamed on possible incendiarism with the fire spreading through open shutters and engulfing multiple stores and residences.
