A Danville home was heavily damaged in a fire Tuesday. The people who lived there were not at home when the fire broke out. However, two pets in the home died in the fire.
Danville Firefighters were called to the 900 block of North Bowman Avenue and observed a large amount of fire and smoke coming from the building. They entered the home and began extinguishing the fire. Other firefighters performed a search of the residence, and no one was found to be inside. The Danville Fire Department is being assisted by the Illinois State Fire Marshals Office with the investigation into the cause of the fire which remains undetermined. Damage was estimated at 45 thousand dollars.
