Wisconsin Fire Kills Two Kids Left Home Alone
Investigators in the La Crosse, Wisconsin area are looking for the cause of a fire that killed two young cousins.
A two-year-old boy and three-year-old girl died Wednesday afternoon when fire spread quickly through a home on French Island.
Town of Campbell Police Chief Mark Hess says the house was owned by the victims' grandparents. He says the children were home alone. The chief said Thursday the grandmother was at work and the grandfather was apparently at an appointment.
Hess and a state trooper who spotted smoke coming from the roof of the ranch tried to get into the house, but flames and heavy smoke drove them back.
It took firefighters several hours to bring the blaze under control. La Crosse and La Crescent, Minnesota firefighters assisted.
An excavating crew knocked down the shell of the house late Wednesday night so the state fire marshal and firefighters could look through the debris to find a cause.
