FORT ATKINSON, Wisconsin (WDJT) — Two boys are dead after they were trapped inside a Fort Atkinson house fire Saturday, Jan. 23.
The Fort Atkinson Fire Department said they were called at 3:23 a.m. to respond to the 400 block of Milo Street.
Snow and icicles now hang off the charred remains of the home.
Alejandro Perez said his brother Bryan Palacios-Perez, 14, wanted to be a doctor.
“I just want you guys to know that he was a hero and my nephew was one of the most loving kids you guys ever would have met,” Perez told CBS 58.
Family friend, Carly Salazar, said Bryan’s father was in the basement Saturday morning when he smelled smoke.
