Neighbors in disbelief after elderly woman dies in mobile home fire on Sheridan Rd. in Kenosha

KENOSHA (WITI) -- Kenosha officials are investigating a fire in which one person died late on Saturday, July 12th.

The fire happened at a mobile home on Sheridan Rd. in Kenosha. Most of the neighbors were still in the dark over what happened last night -- until firefighters showed up a second time.

Kenosha Fire says the person who lived in unit 90 didn't make it out alive.

"She's an elderly lady and would just walk up and down the road.....say hi to everybody and talk to everyone in the trailer park," says one neighbor.

A life line call happened at 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning, but when a med-unit arrived, paramedics came up on a fire, and it was already too late.

"Judy, very nice, wonderful woman but...what a way to go," says a neighbor.

And then this morning, next door neighbor Jeffery Petts smelled something.

"Sometimes fires.....reignite themselves...so I called the fire department right away," says Petts.

A crew returned, located the hot-spot, and went to work. But the damage had already been done, a good neighbor has been taken.

"Real quiet. Real nice lady," says Petts.

Fire investigators are still trying to figure out what caused this fire. The name of the victim has not been released.
