FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — A house was destroyed and a cat is missing out on after a fire on Rhiner Street in Framingham on Memorial Day, fire authorities said.
“The house is a total loss,” Framingham Fire Chief Michael Dutcher said in a declaration on Monday.
No injuries were reported. An elderly man was displaced, however he has family to stick with, said Dutcher.
A next-door neighbor called the fire department around 1:45 p.m. Monday to report the fire at 19 Rhiner St., said Dutcher. The street is off of Water Street.
When firemens got here, they discovered “heavy fire showing from front and rear on arrival,” said Dutcher.
“Crews did an outstanding job pushing in to knock down the fire,” said Dutcher.
Investigators were still trying to find the family animal after the fire.
“We are continuing to search for a missing cat,” said Dutcher.
The reason for the fire stays under examination.
