REGIONAL: 30 cats killed in Napa County blaze

NAPA COUNTY – Thirty cats died in a Napa County fire on Sunday.


The blaze was one of two in unincorporated Napa County that kept county and Cal Fire firefighters busy on Sunday, according to Cal Fire Battalion Chief and Napa County Fire Marshal Pete Muñoa.


The fire that claimed the lives of the cats was reported at 4:20 p.m. in the 5600 block of Silverado Trail in Napa, Muñoa said.


An accessory building, described to be a cattery to the rear of a residence, was fully involved by the time firefighters arrived at scene, he said. The 30 animals that died were located in the building.


Muñoa said investigators from the Napa County Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating the cause of the fire.


Earlier in the day, Napa County and Cal Fire firefighters responded to a residence on fire in the 2300 block of Stagecoach Canyon Road in Pope Valley, he reported.


When firefighters arrived on the scene of that fire, reported at 3:30 p.m., Muñoa said they found the home filled with smoke from a chimney fire that spread, causing damage to the attic and roof.


Muñoa said the 1,800-square-foot residence suffered approximately $15,000 in damage.


No humans were injured in either incident, Muñoa said.
