    I just looked it up on calenonia patch. Said fie was at quarter to 7 last night and caused by welding on a 55 chevy. They were closed and no employees were there.

    I was happy to see post 2 but post 3 doesn't sound good if no one was there at the time. How much damage? just the shop?

    I didn't know they were moving. You know where?

    I tried looking up Milwaukee fires and got nothing. you mention Calenonia but i think you mean Caledonia, so I'll look that up. That rings a bell. Been a while since i've been out that way.

    Sorry, it is caledonia, I don't type well and should proof read better. I don't know where they are moving,just that the sign has been up. I don't know if it was the front building with the showroom with the shop in the back,or the loweer building for storage with other work area.

    I moved away from the IL/WI border area years ago. That's the place that used to have the Corvette on the top of the building right?

    Fire contained in the shop. A '55 up on a hoist burned pretty badly and damage the roof above it. A Galaxy and VW in the shop were covered in soot but should be OK.
