Of the six cats inside, five were rescued and given oxygen and first aid by firefighters. They are now in the care of Animal Control while a sixth cat hasn’t not been fire.
Lierman said the response was upgraded to a two-alarm incident because of the victim being trapped.
What caused the fire is still under investigation, and the name of the victim has not been released.
