Google Maps shows the property appears to be a one-story home next to a farm property. Elk Mound is between Menomonie and Eau Claire along I-94.

Authorities were told a woman with mobility issues was trapped inside the blaze. A delivery driver who was passing by attempted to enter the home, but wasn't able to get inside due to flames and smoke. Law enforcement officers who arrived on scene also weren't able to get inside the home due to the heavy fire.
