Another fire destroys Helms home

Tragedy struck a rural Antigo family, again, Wednesday afternoon.

The Helms family was outside of their home at W7976 Highway F, just east of the Orchard Road and Highway F intersection, and when they tried to enter just before 4 p.m., they discovered it was burning with ferocity that prevented setting even a foot inside.

While it is always a tragedy when a family home is lost to fire, this is the second time in just over a year for the Helms. In 2014 their home at the same site was lost to fire, too. That occurred on Feb. 24.
