UPDATED 2:45 P.M.
PEORIA, Ill. – No people were hurt, but a cat lost its life after a fire starting around noon Tuesday in Northwest Peoria.
Peoria firefighters say a neighbor first reported the fire on Parkwood Drive, near Rockvale.
Crews got the flames in the home’s lower level out quickly, but later discovered a cat died. No humans were hurt, and four people inside the home were able to get other housing.
Damage to the home is estimated at $100,000 – with the worst confined to that lower level.
Officials say the cause was unintentional.
