UPDATE: A child was killed in a residential fire in Calumet County on Wednesday morning, according to the sheriff's office.
Video shows the scene featuring investigators parked outside the house located in the town of Charlestown.
Deputies say them along with the New Holstein Fire Department were called just after 2 a.m. to reports of the fire and a child not breathing.
Deputies say crews recovered an unresponsive child and tried life-saving measures. The child was eventually pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The Calumet County Sheriff's Office and investigators in the State Fire Marshal's Office within the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation are investigating the fire and death.
"You can tell it was something major because trucks were coming from both Chilton and New Holstein," Steve Krause, who lives down the road from the house, said.
Krause and his wife, Sue, said what’s usually a quiet neighborhood, featured blaring sirens throughout the early hours of Wednesday morning.
"I got woke up by firetrucks, we live right by the corner, and it came around ... So it was pretty loud and kind of disturbing because it’s pretty quiet around here," Sue said.
