Fire fighters and rescue workers from the Racine, Caledonia and South Shore fire departments are on scene at a house fire at 6942 Willowbrook.
UPDATE: According to a report by the Caledonia Police Department, the cause of the fire was the hundreds of cigarette butts smoldering in a plastic bucket near the back door of the residence.

The Caledonia, Kenosha, Raymond and St. Francis fire departments used a vacant home on 3 Mile Road for a controlled burn.
The home where 100-year-old human remains were found in June went up in smoke Friday, when the Caledonia Fire Department started a controlled burn on the property.

Homeowner, Victoria Griffin, said no one was living in the house at the time but two cats, which haven't been found and are believed to have died in the fire.
UPDATE: Jeff Henningfeld, battalion chief with the Caledonia Fire Department, said the fire wasn't suspicious, but they don't know what caused the fire.

Rumor has it that a deputy could see the from the Interstate."

Marion and Orlando Tweet had lived there …
