UPDATE: Authorities in Langlade County are using D-N-A samples to identify the six people killed in a house fire Tuesday in Pickerel. 

The sheriff's office released the name of the youngest victim - ten-month-old Zoe Munoz Soto.  Deputies and the coroner are working to collect the D-N-A samples.  The other victims are a 34-year-old woman, 32-year-old man, seven-year-old boy, three-year-old boy and one-year-old girl.  An autopsy was being done Wednesday afternoon on one of the victims.  Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire in the multi-family home.

Six people are dead after a house fire Tuesday morning in Pickerel in northeast Wisconsin. 

The Langlade County Coroner's Office says four of the victims are children.  Crews from Pickerel and the Town of Langlade were called to the multi-family home on County Highway DD around 6:30 A-M. 

Investigators were still at the scene yesterday afternoon.  No other details were immediately released.
