WAUSAU, Wis., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- A fire in a Wausau, Wis., duplex left three children dead, authorities said.
The children's mother and four other children escaped, WISN-TV in Milwaukee reported.
The victims were two sisters, ages 2 and 8, and their 9-year-old brother, police said.
Investigators suspected an extension cord with several devices plugged into it in a child's bedroom may have played a role in starting the fire.
Police said the mother's boyfriend was outside smoking a cigarette and tried to go back inside when he saw the fire but the home was quickly enveloped in flames.
