HOUSTON COUNTY, Georgia — Two cats died in a house fire on Plateau Drive, according to Houston County Fire Chief Chris Stoner.
Stoner said the family safely exited the home before the fire department arrived on the scene, but the two cats could not escape.
Four Houston County Fire Department stations and a Centerville Fire Department crew worked to extinguish the fire. When crews arrived, 50% of the home was heavily involved with fire coming from the roof.
The fire is still under investigation. Stoner said prayers are with the family as they begin their recovery and mourn the loss of their family pets.
