Fire damaged a Fostoria home late last week. Firefighters responded to 33 Barcelona Drive just after midnight Friday. Fire Chief Brian Herbert said flames and smoke were coming from the basement when firefighters arrived.

There were three people inside the home at the time and they escaped safely. Two of their pets died in the blaze though.

Herbert says they haven’t determined the cause yet, but they believe an electrical issue started the flames.

The American Red Cross North Central Ohio Chapter provided the family with shelter, food, and clothing.
