Three pets animals died in a smoke-filled house on Second Avenue after a fire broke out Monday afternoon. A neighbour saw smoke coming from the two-storey detached home at 57 Second Ave. just after 1:30 p.m., and called for help. Firefighters arrived to find the home filled with smoke from a fire burning in the basement.
No one was home at the time. Firefighters rescued a dog, a cat and a hamster from the house and tried to resuscitate them, but were unsuccessful. It’s believed the animals died from smoke inhalation. Five fire trucks and 15 firefighters responded to the call in the Galt area of the city. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. The fire caused about $250,000 in damage. The occupants did have insurance.
