Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Platoon Chief Bill Lockwood tells CHEX News an elderly man was taken to hospital for observation after he re-entered the house looking for his cat which was unaccounted for. The man was later released.
Lockwood says the man was thawing out water pipes with a heater when a nearby wall caught fire and the blaze quickly spread to the rooftop of the older bungalow.
Damage is pegged at $200,000.
