Several family pets died in a house fire that broke out around 3:45 a.m. Thursday in Orange, officials said.
When firetrucks arrived at 2400 block of N. Robinhood Place, firefighters reported heavy smoke and fire coming out of windows of the two-story, single family dwelling, a news release from the Orange City Fire Department said.
Firefighters cut two “heat holes” in the roof above the fire allowing the house to be cleared of toxic smoke and heat. The fire was knocked down in 25 minutes.
No firefighters or residents were hurt, but a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a turtle and two snakes, which were family pets, died. Seven family members were displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause of the fire and damage estimate were under investigation.
