Viewers of the Memorial Day parade Monday were treated to an unusual parade spectacle when a van caught fire.
According to a
story by the
Green Bay Press-Gazette, Cumulus Broadcasting's event van used by sports WDUZ-AM/FM (1400 / 107.5), WKRU-FM, WQLH-FM, oldies WOGB-FM (103.1) and country WPCK-FM (104.9) caught fire while crossing the Claude Allouez Bridge in DePere, WI shortly after 10:30 a.m. while participating in the parade, Capt. Rich Annen of the De Pere Fire Department said.
Passengers evacuated and called in the alarm, Annen said. Police helped keep the crowd and other parade participants away as firefighters put the fire out.
The fire burned up the engine and front portion of the vehicle, but firefighters were able to save most of the broadcast equipment, Annen said.
No injuries were
reported, but the vehicle was a total loss.
