Multiple pets die in Port Angeles house fire

Firefighters in Port Angeles say multiple pets died in a house fire Wednesday night.

Crews were called to the home in the 400 block of South Valley Street at 9:30 p.m. to find heavy fire.

Because of limited staff, firefighters had to fight the flames from the outside.

The person who lived in the home escaped due to a smoke detector, but their pets died in the fire.

When more fire crews arrived, they were able to also fight the flames from the inside and do a search of the home.

The cause is under investigation.
