Rosie`s fire
RACINE -- Racine firefighters on New Year's Day were called out to a fire at Rosie's on Taylor -- a family diner on Taylor Avenue in Racine.
According to police, multiple 911 calls just after 4:30 p.m. reported smoke coming from the building.
Wind chills hovered around -16 degrees when the Racine Fire Department was dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, fire was observed burning through the roof.
Firefighters employed defensive firefighting tactics for most of the blaze -- with concern for roof collapse due to heavy air handling equipment mounted to the roof.
Fire damage was contained to the diner.
No injuries were reported.
The building is a total loss and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
