Two Milwaukee brothers have recently been sentenced for their involvement in a fire that caused nearly $50 million dollars in damage.  The brothers will spend 90 days in jail total,  and several hundred hours of community service.  The brothers will serve their time in jail every July for the next three years.  The reason for this is that the fire occurred over the 4th of July weekend,  and the judge believed it was important that they be reminded of the time in which the accident occurred.

The fire was started after a military flare was shot off and landed on top of the roof. In total,  four buildings were destroyed and the fire burned for several days.
