HARTLAND, Wis. (AP) – Seven people died in an apartment fire early Friday, Oct. 21 in the southern Wisconsin village of Hartland, the police chief said.

He said multiple fire departments and police departments responded and helped evacuate individuals from the building and from balconies. He did not have information on whether others were injured.
