Overheated Christmas Tree Causes Washington Fire
Firefighters say overheated Christmas lights sparked a fire in Mill Creek, Wash., that damaged a home and killed a 3-week-old puppy.
The Everett Herald reports that the woman at the residence Sunday night walked into her living room to find her Christmas tree on fire.
Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes says crews arrived and rescued three 3-week-old puppies, but a fourth one couldn’t be revived. No other injuries were reported.
