Brandon firefighter Lance Dornn holds a cat rescued from a house fire on the 400-block of 11th Street on Wednesday. Firefighters rescued three cats from a residence after a fire broke out in the home. By press time yesterday, police had not released a cause for the fire or a damage estimate, though dark smoke billowed out from a third-storey window that had been intentionally broken by fire personnel. Brandon Fire and Emergency Services reported no injuries.
A house fire in Brandon may have been caused by a wiring short, authorities say.
Firefighters were called to the 11th Street home yesterday at about 3:30 p.m. Everyone — including the cats — made it out of the house safely.
It's now believed that the fire was sparked by a short in a wiring system.
