    CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- A man working with another person to tear down a trailer house in Chippewa County died when he became trapped when it collapsed and then burned.

    The sheriff's office says the 24-year-old resident of Cadott died at the scene in the town of Arthur.

    After the man became trapped, the other person went to a nearby residence to call for help, but debris apparently fell into a fire that was burning nearby and the trailer caught fire.

    Firefighters arrived yesterday about 6 p.m., and the victim later was removed from the debris and pronounced dead.

    The victim's name hasn't been released.
