All family members, including four adults and three children, were able to evacuate from the building. Fire crews found several unharmed pets that were removed from the home as well.

The fire was contained to the upper floor, with two unaccounted-for cats. The American Red Cross is assisting the family with their immediate needs.

No firefighters were injured.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The first Presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is Tuesday night.

TMJ4’s Symone Woolridge talked to a few people in Milwaukee about it ahead of time. Most told her that they don’t plan to watch the debate. A couple said the reason is they’ve already decided who they’re voting for.

But, Symone still wanted to know what issues matter most to those voters.

“My concern is people’s well being right now,” said Terry Johnson. “All that other stuff, there’s people everyday out here that just need somebody to talk to. Talk is talk, it’s more about action.”

“What’s going on in the Middle East is important, and Israel and so on and so forth, is on issue,” said Jan Eder. “Another important issue, of course, is the economic situation in our country, and prices where i’m going to grocery shop right now.”

“I’ve followed politics my whole life. I’ve been involved one way or another and I just think everybody should watch [the debate]. It should be mandatory viewing,” said Marsha Hueberger. “I don’t like the restrictions that are in place. I think [the candidates] should be able to discuss their ideas without the questions being slanted one way or another, without time being cut off. I think they should be able to have a decent, grown up, intelligent conversation about what they did, what they’re doing and what they want to do.”

But, Marsha admits, she doesn’t believe that quite what will happen on the debate stage.

The candidates will face off in Philadelphia. Coverage starts at 7:00 p.m. right here on TMJ4. The debate begins at 8:00 p.m.

MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man says a shoddy driveway job left him out hundreds of dollars. He thought his case was slipping through the cracks until he tried a new tactic.

From the first time Ron Melzer stepped foot on his newly sealed driveway in July, he could tell the finished work was not as advertised.

“You could see the stones, the little peaks of the stones,” Melzer told Contact 6. “He was supposed to fill the major cracks. What he considered major and what I considered major are two different things.”

Melzer says he agreed to pay $1,500 for the job, partly because the owner of the sealing business said they could start right away.

“I know his price was high, but he offered me a product that I thought was superior,” said Melzer.

Once the job started, the price went up.

“He came up to me and said, “you really need two coats instead of one coat.” He said, “now the price is higher,” said Melzer.

In the end, Melzer paid $2,000 for the driveway. When he met Contact 6 in September, weeds were sprouting through the driveway’s new seal. Melzer said he business did return to reseal some missed spots, but the sealant washed away two days later.

After that, Melzer says the business stopped responding to his message. Eventually, Melzer sought outside help.

“One I contacted Contact 6, he got back to me the next day,” said Melzer.

Melzer asked for a refund of $530 and got it, plus an apology. His savings are among the $45,235.26 that consumers says Contact 6 helped them save in August.

Working behind the scenes and off-camera, the Contact 6 associated producer, Annette, helped a Pewaukee woman get $765 from her insurance for a new set of dentures. She assisted a Sheboygan Falls woman with getting her new sofa refabricated after deep wrinkles appeared in the fabric.

Thanks to Contact 6, a Milwaukee family also saved $648 on a hotel room, after they complained of unsanitary conditions.

Melzer plans to patch up the remaining cracks on his driveway himself before winter. This business that sealed his driveway apologized for the misleading information and thanked Contact 6 for stepping in.
