WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Shoppers and staff were evacuated from Walgreens Thursday morning after haze filled the store.
Wisconsin Rapids Fire Chief Todd Eckes said the call came in about 11:02 a.m. Thursday, and when they arrived fire crews found a burned motor on the roof coming from the air handling unit.
The crew was on the scene for between a half hour and 45 minutes, Eckes said, and Walgreens staff members were able to reopen the store.
