A rural home in West Kewaunee has been deemed a total loss after an early Sunday morning house fire. Kewaunee Fire Department Chief Joe Nemecek says the fire was reported shortly after midnight, and the two occupants of the home located near the intersection of County Road B and County Road F were able to get out safely. When crews arrived, firefighters battled the blaze in the attic area of the two-level house engulfed with flames. Nemecek estimates that the crew was on the scene for over five hours, with the cold and fresh snow from Saturday’s storm making reaching the fire on the roof more challenging. The cause of the fire has not been determined yet and it remains under investigation. No injuries were reported, and the scene was cleared after 6 a.m. Sunday.
