A friend helped save a man's pets from home fire overnight in Cynthiana.
The fire sparked around 11 p.m. on Old Lair Road.
Zach Gaunce says he was driving by when he saw smoke. He said he ran into the house to check on his friend, but was turned back by flames.
He found his friend outside the home, then decided to run back into the burning home to try to save his friend's pet bird.
"So I run around the back and kick in the back door and I made it to about the kitchen and the smoke, it just, engulfed everything," Gaunce said. "I lost track of where I was. I couldn't see nothing."
