A fire at a home on Pine Street has claimed the life of a family cat.

Thunder Bay Fire Rescue says they were called to a bungalow in the 200 block of pine street around 11 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release.

Crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the garage.

They escalated it to a second alarm fire and managed to stop it from spreading to the home.

But they say a lot of smoke and heat entered the home and killed the family cat.

Three dogs were rescued from the basement.

They say the fire was eletrical and that you should unplug unused deives and make sure your smoke alarms are working.
