Fire destroyed an Adna area home this afternoon.

Lewis County Fire District 6 was called about 12:50 p.m. to the 100 block of Sunset Drive, off Brockway Road, according to Firefighter-paramedic Tim Kinder.

The single-story house was fully involved in flames when they arrived and fought “pretty much defensively,” Kinder said.

District 6 was joined by members of fire departments from Chehalis, Centralia and Napavine.

Nobody was home, although some pets perished, Kinder said.

Kinder believed two cats and a dog were rescued.

Fire Capt. Ted McCarty of Chehalis Fire Department said two kittens were saved, and seemed to be doing fine.

“They kinda reached in and found them in the foam and rubble, about an hour into it,” McCarty said.

Kinder described the house as gutted. It had been burning for quite awhile before firefighters arrived, he said.

The cause is under investigation.
