Authorities said smoke detectors did not appear to be working when a duplex fire killed an elderly brother and sister in Mosinee a week ago. Mosinee Fire District Chief Josh Klug said 75-year-old Hershel "Fred" Bauman had physical limits which could have made it hard for him to escape the flames. He and 68-year-old Neatha Carwile died in the blaze, which occurred last Thursday. The chief said Carwile was caring for Bauman at the time the fire began in the upper part of a duplex.
