The call came in at about 4 a.m. and when firefighters arrived at the scene in the 400 block of County Road NN, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. After extinguishing the flames, a body was located inside the vehicle.
The single occupant, whose name has not yet been released, is being identified through DNA. The car belonged to "50ish woman from Dunn County," according to Sheriff John Shilts; however, he would not be release her name until the medical examiner confirmed the victim's identity.
Shilts said it takes time to run the DNA tests and it's unlikely an identity will be released until next week.
Also assisting at the scene was United Fire, Spring Valley Fire and Baldwin EMS.
