Firefighters rescued a one-year-old child from a house fire on Green Bay's east side.
Emergency crews were called to the 2500 block of Wisconsin Ave. at around 7:30 a.m. Friday. That is just off of East Shore Drive, along the shore of Green Bay.
Firefighters received a report of a child trapped inside the home. They found the one-year-old boy on the second floor filled with smoke and flames. Firefighters rescued the boy out of a bedroom window.
"As soon as crews arrived, they went around one side of the home and knocked the fire down. A second crew simultaneously went up to the second floor and rescued the child. The child was taken out of the bedroom window and transported via ambulance to a local hospital," says Assistant Chief Rob Goplin, Green Bay Metro Fire Department.
Six other people escaped the home.
