TOWN OF CLARNO, Wis. - One person is dead after re-entering a burning house in southern Wisconsin to try to put out the fire.
The fire broke out early Thursday in the Town of Clarno. When Green County sheriff's deputies arrived, they were told a person had re-entered the house with a fire extinguisher.
Firefighters entered the home but the fire was so hot they had to turn back. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that after the fire was extinguished, emergency workers found the body inside.
Authorities have not released the victim's name. The house had a wood burner, but authorities have not identified the cause of the fire.
