MENCHALVILLE - Sixteen members of the Reedsville Fire Department responded to a fire at a vacant restaurant in Menchalville in the early hours of Friday.

Crews were called to the corner of County Road K and County Road NN around 3:20 a.m. The Reedsville firemen worked for around nine hours on the call, as they arrived back to their station after 12 p.m.

The building was a total loss.

"When we arrived at the scene, the flames were coming out the west side of the structure. We did try an interior attack until the conditions became unfavorable and we pulled crews out and we just went at it defensively," Reedsville Fire Chief Jason Schuh said.

The building was formerly the supper club Reindl's Countryside Inn but has sat vacant for years.

The Reedsville department pages with the Menchalville department so both received the call at the same time.

No one was injured in the fire. A cause of the fire is not yet known.

A more detailed report will be included in the Jan. 30, 2025, edition of The Brillion News.
