Four pets have died in a house fire in Nova Scotia’s Kings County.
Jeff Skaling, the chief of the Canning Volunteer Fire Department, says crews responded to the fire on Canard Street just after 4 p.m. Thursday.
Nobody was home at the time, but five pets were inside and four of them died.
One cat sustained injuries and was taken to a veterinarian in Kentville.
The fire was extinguished around 7 p.m.
Skaling says the cause of the fire was accidental.
