Goats blamed for starting house fire in Iowa
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 | Norwalk, Iowa | AP
Firefighters said goats may have started a fire that destroyed a home near Norwalk in central Iowa. The fire broke out early Tuesday. Three people escaped unharmed.
John Hadley said his cat woke up him up, and he saw smoke coming from a ceiling. Hadley then woke up his ailing mother and her companion and got them out of the house.
Assistant Northern Warren County Fire Chief Kevin Dingman said the fire may have been started by some goats kept in a shed attached to the rear of the house.
He said a space heater was kept in the shed to keep the goats warm, and the goats may have knocked it over, starting the fire.
The goats and a family dog were rescued, but the cat was missing.
“Hadley then woke up his ailing mother and her companion and got them out of the house.”
“…and her companion?” Was Rosie O’Donnell spending the night? No wonder mother is “ailing!”
It may also explain what happened to the poor little cat.
