At least 1 dead in Fond du Lac house fire

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) - At least one person is dead following a house fire in Fond du Lac.

Fire crews found one victim and said another person was unaccounted for and that a search was in progress Thursday morning.

WLUK-TV reports firefighters were called to the house about 6 a.m. Officials say the fire appeared to have started on the porch.

Fire Chief Peter O’Leary says the blaze was very complex and stubborn. O’Leary says firefighters encountered a large amount fire and smoke when they arrived, making survival improbable.
