Fire investigators said Tuesday that a cigarette butt tossed into a flower pot ignited the fire that destroyed a home on Cortona Way in Wendell on Monday. It happened Monday in the 7800 block of Cortona Way, in the Tuscan Ridge neighborhood. No one was home when the fire broke out. A GoFundMe was set up for Brian and Amy Fitts and their two daughters, who lost everything in the fire. Chopper 11 HD was on the scene Monday and massive flames could be seen shooting out of the home's roof.
