Two Pets Rescued From Redmond-Area House Fire

REDMOND, OR -- Two dogs were rescued from a house fire near Redmond late Friday night. Firefighters responding to the home on Northeast 33rd determined all the people had evacuated, but they found the two animals inside. They were revived using pet oxygen masks.

Because the neighborhood does not have fire hydrants, Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue responded with a water tender to supply water to the fire. 

Investigators say the blaze started when a small butane cigarette lighter was placed too close to bedding, and hot metal quickly ignited the mattress.

The house did not have working smoke alarms, and it suffered significant damage.
