LEBANON — Two electrical fires Sunday displaced the occupants of two homes and left a cat dead.

Sunday morning at 5:45 a.m., firefighters responded to a structure fire at a single-family home on Hough Street, according to a release from the Lebanon Fire Department.

One cat died in the fire that began in room on the second floor.

Residents were not home at the time of the fire, but the family of three will need to relocate “for a while” when they return from being out of town, Fire Chief James Wheatley said Monday.

First responders contained the fire to the room where it started and the building’s second floor had heat, smoke and water damage.

By 6:45 a.m., the fire was under control, and all officers left the scene by 9 a.m..

Sunday afternoon, firefighters then responded to a second-alarm house fire at a home on Pine Street at about 1:30 p.m..

The fire started in the wall of a second-floor apartment and it was contained to one room.

Four occupants and pets were safely evacuated from the building and have been temporarily relocated with the assistance of the Red Cross.

There were no injuries to civilians reported at either fire, but one first responder was evaluated for smoke inhalation.

The Pine Street fire was declared under control at 2:10 p.m. and all first responders had cleared the scene at 3:15.
