(BYRON) A weekend camping trip turned deadly Sunday morning when a fire tore through a camper in Fond du Lac County, killing a 35-year-old woman.
It happened just before 11 a.m. at Breezy Hill Campground on Cearns Lane in the Town of Byron. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office said dispatchers received multiple 911 calls at 10:56 a.m. reporting a camper on fire.
Investigators said an adult man and three children were able to get out of the camper safely. But a woman was still inside.
Deputies and firefighters from the Eden Fire Department and Fond du Lac Fire Rescue responded. As crews worked to put out the flames, they found the woman inside. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
