Despite the scary winds, I was out on my e-bike, with my camera handy and stopped just after they'd gotten the fire out and were preparing to attack the smoldering remnants.

From the City of Beloit:
-----
"The City of Beloit Fire Dept responded to a residential fire in the 1100 block of Highland Avenue around 3:22pm today.

"No injuries occurred during the fire, which spread aggressively due to the wind conditions and low humidity.

"Two people were home at the time of the fire, discovered the fire and called 911. Initial arriving fire crews made an aggressive attack on the fire knocking down the majority of fire prior to entering the structure to extinguish the fire on the interior.

"The fire was started by an unattended cooking grill located on the back porch. The Beloit Fire Department urges our community members to never leave a cooking grill unattended, especially on days when there is high wind speeds."

"Thank you to Janesville, Town of Turtle and Orfordville Fire Departments for your assistance today."
