Tonight at 7:35pm, the Oak Creek Dispatch Center received the report of a swimmer in distress at Bender Park. Prior to the arrival of the Fire Department, a person on a jet ski was able to throw a personal floatation device (PFD) to that swimmer. An Oak Creek Fire Department rescue swimmer entered the water and was able to reach the swimmer in distress and bring them to shore. The conscious and alert person was moved to a South Milwaukee Fire Department paramedic unit and then transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

As a matter of public safety, all individuals entering the water should be aware of the water conditions and mindful of their own swimming ability. Lake Michigan waters are far different from inland lakes and swimming pools.

This morning, at 9:35, the Oak Creek Dispatch Center received the report of an explosion at Redwall Screen Printing (7655 S 6th). First arriving crews encountered a heavy volume of smoke in the building but no active fire. The large commercial building was ventilated to remove a buildup of smoke and all employees evacuated and were accounted for. It was reported that employees had discharged multiple dry chemical fire extinguishers prior to the arrival of the fire department.

Further investigation of the incident revealed that a can of spray adhesive fell into a textile dryer. Heat from the dryer caused the can to explode with fire extending out of the dryer and also into an exhaust stack. Immediate damage estimates are not known at this time.

Five employees were medically evaluated on scene but refused transport to the hospital. There were no injuries to fire personnel. The Oak Creek Fire Department received assistance from the Milwaukee, Franklin, Greenfield, South Milwaukee, West Allis and St Francis Fire Departments.
