VILLAGE OF SUMMIT, Wis. — The Western Lakes Fire District (WLFD) is investigating what caused a structure fire on Sugar Island in the Village of Summit on Saturday morning.

Crews were dispatched to the fire around 11:07 a.m. after an initial 911 caller reported what they first believed was a controlled burn. However, the caller later stated it was a structure fire.

According to WLFD, a drone was immediately deployed from shore to investigate while fire resources assembled for deployment to the island.

Footage from that drone confirmed what appeared to be a structure on fire, as well as the outside of the building, according to WLFD.

The cause of the fire remains unclear. According to WLFD, one person was assessed by emergency medical services as a result of it.

An investigation is underway by WLFD, Summit police and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
