The Milwaukee County Marcia P. Coggs Human Services Center, located at 1220 W. Vliet St, will be closed to all employees and the public for the remainder of Wednesday, June 20, 2012 because of smoke from a large fire at a nearby building.

Milwaukee County Risk Management crews have toured the building and are working on clearing out any remaining smoke.

The building should be open tomorrow, Thursday, June 21, 2012, but employees should double check by calling the Milwaukee County Emergency Response Hotline, 414-278-3900, after 10pm tonight.

Since the County has closed this facility, all county employees working at this building will be paid for their regularly scheduled hours today.

If any employees believe they are experiencing health related issues as a result of this incident, please seek medical attention with the medical provider of your choice and report this to your manager.

Approximately 500 Milwaukee County employees work at the Coggs Center.
