Nearly six homes were destroyed in Arden Arcade after a fire broke out Monday morning.
Both Metro Fire and Sacramento City Fire were on scene to battle the blaze, eventually getting it under control but not without serious damages. Four townhomes were destroyed and two others were significantly damaged. Neighbors in the area were shocked their homes weren’t affected.
“I am completely shocked. It hits home when it’s so close,” said Lindsey Reuter.
Reuter lives next door and wasn’t at home when the blaze broke out, but her dog Priyah was. Firefighters were forced to bust down the door and save the pup.
“The fire department kicked it in and put my dog in the back room thankfully. I’m grateful that it didn’t get the house,” Reuter said.
Unfortunately the people in the six other townhomes weren’t as lucky.
