Local Blaze That Killed Pet Likely Laundry Related

All six people living at 714 Park Avenue in Webster City escaped the fiery blaze that destroyed their home Sunday night. Unfortunately, one family pet was not so lucky.

The Webster City Fire Department got the call at 9:06 pm, and quickly responded. By the time firefighters arrived on the scene, smoke and flames were rising from the two story residence, Fire Chief Chuck Stansfield told KQ Radio. But firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control. A search team then looked through the structure, and found the family pet, which they determined was deceased.
