BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Deputies are investigating after a fire broke out at a home in Brooksville early Wednesday morning, killing one cat.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office said they received a 911 call about the incident at a home on Dogwood Drive around 3:30 a.m. When they arrived, deputies said they noticed that the room in the back of the house was engulfed in flames.
The Brooksville Fire Department responded to extinguish the fire, which was contained to one room in the home.
HCSO said while several unrelated people live in the home, there were no reported injuries, but that one cat died.
Deputies added that due to the "suspicious nature" of the incident, the state fire marshal was called to assist with the investigation.
"She didn’t know what she was getting into. She didn’t know she’s signing away her property"
I-Team investigator Adam Walser is hearing from a 91-year-old Lakeland woman who signed a contract to sell her home which she says she did not understand and is now being sued.
