WEST ALLIS, Wis., March 17 (UPI) -- Two people, both believed to be children, died in a residential fire in West Allis, Wis., Sunday, officials said.

Two other minors were hospitalized.

The fire was reported in the upper level of a duplex shortly after 3:30 a.m., the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said.

"It's the only thing you can think of, that it's truly tragic. It just makes you want to hug your kids," Mayor Dan Devine, whose two children are 5 and 8, said.
