A family lost their pet in a mobile-home fire Friday night. No one else was home at the time.

Dennis Leftwich and his grandson, Jordan Mulhouser, werent home when the fire broke out in a bedroom at their residence on Cullman County 1856 just south of Arab.

Leftwich arrived home to find flames coming from the residence and called 911 at 8:08 p.m.

Arab Fire and Rescue, along with Joppa and Four-C Volunteer Fire Departments, responded to the fire.

Arab Fire Chief Ricky Phillips said Tuesday the cause hasnt been determined but likely was an electrical fire.

Hed had some trouble with squirrels getting under the house and chewing up stuff, including electrical wires, Phillips said. We havent seen anything suspicious. Its most likely going to be an accidental fire caused by electrical wiring.
