Fire damages home on Aztec

The Colony firefighters responded to a residential structure fire on Aztec Drive June 13 which caused major damage to the home's interior.

The call first came in 3:06 p.m., with units arriving by 3:07 p.m. Fire Chief Scott Thompson said the fire started in the kitchen as a result of cooking and quickly spread to the living room.

"There was significant damage to those two rooms, and smoke and heat damage throughout the house," Thompson said.

The occupants were home at the time of the fire and were able to escape without injury, Thompson said. However, the family's pet cat was also was inside the home and though firefighters were able to locate and retrieve it, attempts to revive the pet were unsuccessful. It is common for animals to hide in a back corner of the home when a fire breaks out, Thompson said, adding that he personally made attempts to call the cat out from the front door but the smoke in house was almost to the floor by that time.

No other injuries were reported.

The damage has made the home uninhabitable and the homeowners have been in contact with the Red Cross for assistance.

TCFD units cleared the scene by 5:38 p.m.
