Edinburgh fire destroys home, kills pets

Edinburgh authorities say that a mobile home was a total loss and five pets were killed after a fire Sunday.

According to Police Chief Doyne Little Jr., Edinburgh officers and firefighters were called to the fire in the 400 block of Piatts Trailer Court to find the home on fire but unoccupied. Little says that the renters were not home at the time of the fire.

The trailer is a total loss and five cats were killed in the blaze. One officer had to be treated for smoke inhalation but there were no other injuries reported.

Other agencies assisting at the scene included German Township, Trafalgar, Amity and Nineveh fire departments.
