Blackened walls, tattered drywall and waterlogged floors are what’s left in the aftermath of a Racine house fire.The fire happened before noon Wednesday near Hayes Avenue and 15th Street.Before it happened, 11-year-old Trinity Kornas and seven of her siblings were home alone because their mother had to take their eighth sibling to an appointment.The Kornas children are between the ages of 14-years-old and 6 months old; they’re all homeschooled. Trinity went to check on her younger brother playing upstairs when she noticed something was wrong.”I could smell the smoke and what scared me was I could see the smoke, which was even scarier,” Trinity said, as she recalled the smoke was coming from underneath an upstairs bedroom door.”My plan was just to get everybody outside,” Trinity said. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, get outside.’ ‘Why?’ ‘There’s a fire in the house!'”Trinity rushed all her siblings and their dogs out to safety before calling for help. Their parents and the Racine Fire Department arrived within minutes. “Like we’re so proud of you. You’re so brave. She’s only 11, but she was able to kind of hold her composure and make sure that everybody was, you know, safe and calm until I could get there,” her mother, Kristina Kornas, said.Firefighters got the fire under control within seven minutes. Lt. Dave Nagl said the fire damage was limited to the upstairs bedroom where the blaze originated from because the door was closed. “There’s definitely zero fire damage in any other room and almost no other smoke damage there. There’s so little smoke damage in the second floor and virtually none on the first floor. So just having that door closed saved the whole rest of the house,” Nagl said.Trinity said she knew how to get her siblings out because of her family’s fire safety plan they had practiced.”Teach your kids fire safety and hold your babies tight because mine could not be here right now,” said Kristina Kornas. “They’re my whole world so to think that something could have happened is just, it’s awful.”While she’s sad about their house, Trinity is thankful their family is still together.”At least they’re all safe. That’s all that matters,” she said. Racine fire said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.The Kornas’ are living in a hotel because of the damage to their home; they have a GoFundMe started to help them get back on their feet.

The years-long battle to demolish the old Northridge Mall hit yet another challenge.Thousands of bees.After a drawn-out court battle over what to do with the property, the city of Milwaukee finally acquired the mall back in January. During the teardown process, a jobsite supervisor found two hives buzzing with thousands of honeybees in the long abandoned building near 76th and Brown Deer.”Right away, I thought about just to save them,” Nazim Agushi said. Agushi is a jobsite supervisor for Balestrieri Environmental and Development, the company in charge of removing asbestos from the mall during the demolition process. “I did remove the whole plywood from here, and it was located right in this corner,” Agushi said. Agushi found one of the hives in the old JCPenney building and a second where the old Younkers department store was located. “The minute I saw them, there’s no way I’m going to get a firehose and blow them out. I’m going to save them. Whatever it takes,” Agushi said.He worked to remove both hives and the honeycombs the bees had been forming.”The bees, they don’t bother you if you don’t really mess around with them. They kind of knew me, it seems like. I guess they like me,” Agushi said. The feeling is mutual. “I worked with bees before back home. Like in the days before I got to this country,” Agushi said. Agushi came to America as a refugee from Kosovo, during the war there in 1999. He said before he left everything, including his home behind, he often worked with bees with his father. “I try to go almost every year, back there. But my dad passed away already,” Agushi said. “Does this remind you of him?” WISN 12 News reporter Kendall Keys asked Agushi.”Yes,” he said. He’s a man on a mission to save the bees. He says overnight Thursday, while the bees are dormant in the hive, he’ll relocate both hives to a farm in Elkhorn. The farm is owned by Balestrieri and already has 14 hives. “You want to do it early because you don’t want to leave any bees behind,” Agushi said. Agushi said the bees were busy making honey during their time in Northridge. He was able to extract about a gallon of it. The asbestos abatement and demolition process is still ongoing at the mall and is estimated to take a year to complete.
Mortgage rates are falling after the Federal Reserve announced a cut in interest rates on Wednesday.”I think as we normalize rates, the housing market will normalize,” said Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.President Joe Biden called the rate cut a sign of economic progress.”I think it’s good news for consumers. It means the cost of buying a home, car, and so much more will be going down,” Biden said.The average rate for a 30-year mortgage has now fallen to 6.09%, the lowest level since February 2023, according to Freddie Mac.”It could allow more home buyers, especially first-time home buyers, to be able to enter into the market in coming months,” said Jessica Lautz of the National Association of Realtors.Housing experts note that existing home prices are at historic highs, but buyers can now expect significant savings compared to the high rates seen last year.”In an ideal scenario, someone putting 20% down, which is rare, on a $400,000 home, we actually know it’s an annual savings of more than $4,000 a year,” Lautz added.”As rates come down people will start to move more and that’s probably beginning to happen already,” Powell said.Despite more homes being available, new numbers from the National Association of Realtors show existing home sales were down in August as prices continue to rise.Some experts say the real problem is the lack of inventory of existing homes.”The so-called lock-in effect has been where current owners of homes are sitting pretty with mortgage rates of 4% or below when the market recently has been just above 6%,” said Mark Hamrick of Bankrate.com.Mortgage rates have been falling for weeks in anticipation of the Fed’s rate cut.Experts expect them to continue to fall and settle in the 5% range.
