DENVER—Authorities say an electric blanket placed over a cat resting in its favorite chair sparked a fire that killed the pet and significantly damaged an Arvada home.
Scott Pribble, spokesman for the Arvada Fire Protection District, says three adults living in the home were awakened by a fire alarm just before 4 a.m. Saturday. They escaped without injury, but the fire destroyed the home’s two-car garage and spread to the attic.
Pribble tells The Denver Post ( ) that freezing temperatures meant firefighters had to contend with slick conditions outside.
