HURLEY, WI--   A bar in Hurley, Wisconsin has burned down. 

WLUC-TV reports firefighters were called Thursday around 4:50 p.m. to the Wishbones Bar and Restaurant and found the second floor of the building fully engulfed.  It took firefighters seven hours in frigid temperatures and below-zero wind chills to extinguish the blaze. 

The business is considered to be a total loss.  An adjoining building suffered only minor damage from smoke.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation by the Hurley Fire Department and the Wisconsin State Fire Marshal.
