LAWRENCE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two people were rescued and taken to a hospital after a Brown County house fire.
Shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday the town of Lawrence Fire Department received a call about a brush fire on Mid Valley Drive.
When crews arrived, they saw smoke and flames coming from the back of a home and multiple departments responded, including De Pere.
De Pere Battalion Chief Tom Nelson said two individuals were rescued and taken to the hospital. Their conditions are unknown.
Mid Valley Drive from Little Rapids Road to Quarry Park Drive in the town of Lawrence was closed to traffic until about 8 a.m.
The fire was put out within an hour and Nelson estimates the fire caused about $150,000-$175,000 worth of damage.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Nelson says strong winds and lack of nearby hydrants were the biggest challenges in fighting this fire.
