Over the weekend, a house fire in Thailand claimed the lives of two people and at least 30 of their cats, many of which were trapped in cages.<\/p>\n

According to Khaosod English, 13 cats were safely rescued from the fire by authorities.<\/p>\n

The fire, which appeared to have originated on the first floor, ended up spreading to the second floor as efforts to control the blaze went underway.<\/p>\n

After around 15 minutes, firefighters managed to bring the fire under control. A subsequent search of the home revealed the deceased bodies of a 62-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman on the second floor.<\/p>\n

A local reporter also shared that the homeowners’ one-year-old dog, which had escaped the fire, was spotted trying to re-enter the home to find its owners.<\/p>\n

The couple’s 34-year-old nephew revealed that they had been sheltering and caring for strays in the area.<\/p>\n

After a preliminary investigation, authorities believe the cause of the fire was a short in the electrical circuit.<\/p>\n
