NEW HOLSTEIN, Wis. (AP) -- -

One person has died and four others have been injured in an apartment fire in New Holstein.

Fire officials say the blaze started in a kitchen area of the two-story building Friday.

Authorities say the building was originally a bar and boarding house before it was converted to apartments.

New Holstein police say the woman who died, 42-year-old Nicole Masucci, never made out of the building.

Four others got out with the help of a first responder.

Police say the four other victims were treated at a hospital and released.

WLUK-TV reports crews don't know what started the fire.
