KATE WINSLET, FAMILY ESCAPE FIRE AT VACATION HOME

Apparently, pirates aren't the scariest things to worry about in the Caribbean.

Kate Winslet and her family were forced to flee their luxury confines this morning after a devastating, middle-of-the-night fire broke out at the private home of their holiday host, Richard Branson.

Kate, along with her children Mia, 10, and Joe, 7,and her on-again beau Louis Dowler, were among 20 people staying at the home, all of whom were forced out last night as the flames ripped through the abode.
