Four Cats Missing After Early Morning House Fire in East Point

Start

Four cats are missing following a fire that broke out early Thursday in an East Point home. The residents managed to escape unharmed, but their pets remain unaccounted for, according to fire officials.

🕓 Why It Matters: Pets are often casualties in house fires, and families can face deep emotional tolls when animals go missing.

🚒 What’s Happening: East Point fire crews responded around 4 a.m. to a house fire on the 1400 block of Winburn Drive, focusing on the basement where they believed the fire started.

  • Crews encountered heavy smoke and heat, making it difficult to locate the fire’s exact source initially.
  • Firefighters sprayed water through the basement windows and vents and eventually found flames near the dryer ventilation.

🐾 Between the Lines: Although everyone escaped without injury, the emotional distress of missing pets looms over the household.

  • Fire officials have yet to determine whether the cats escaped the home or were trapped inside.
  • The fire department has stated that investigations into the fire’s cause are ongoing.
