One person is dead and three were hospitalized after a fire on Milwaukee’s south side early Friday morning.
Fire crews were called to the 1900 block of West Burnham Street, in the Muskego Way neighborhood, shortly before 2 a.m.
They spent about 40 minutes battling a heavy fire that spread to three structures as temperatures fell into the teens and wind gusts reached nearly 30 miles an hour.
A 55-year-old woman died, while a 23-year-old woman suffered serious injuries but is in stable condition, according to the Milwaukee Police Department. A woman, age 63, and a girl, age 6, also sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
