While no injuries were reported in a Friday afternoon residential fire, Kenosha County authorities along with the Village of Twin Lakes are still working to determine the cause, according to village fire official.

The fire, which resulted in mutual aid from five other departments, occurred in the 100 block of West Spring Drive near Lake Elizabeth.

“As of right now, there were no injuries,” said Deputy Fire Chief Don Schemenauer of the Twin Lakes Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad.

However, he said, two pets had been involved, and observed one of two escape safely.

“I am not sure about the other one,” he said.

Twin Lakes received mutual aid from the towns of Randall, Wheatland and Salem in Wisconsin.

Two departments from Illinois, Spring Grove and Richmond, also responded to the scene.

Pending a thorough investigation by the Kenosha County Fire Investigation Task Force, Schemenauer was unable to offer further information.

“We haven’t made a determination, but we are in the process of making that determination,” he said. “The Kenosha County Fire Investigation task force is on its way, and until they make a determination, we cannot give out any further information.”

Additionally, he did not state whether the home is a total loss.
