Firefighters rescue two cats from North Lawrence house fire

Firefighters rescued two cats from a house fire in North Lawrence Thursday night.

The fire was reported in a home in the 700 block of Lake Street around 9:50 p.m., said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Justin Temple. Firefighters were on scene three minutes after the call and had the fire under control shortly after.

“It was a good quick knock down,” Temple said.

No injuries were reported from the fire, Temple said. Firefighters did, however, rescue two cats from inside the home.

Temple said it was not immediately clear what started the fire or the extent of the damage.

No further information was immediately available.
