WICHITA, Kansas -- An apartment fire on South Hydraulic, originating from a refrigerator claimed the life of a cat, displaced its owner and caused $10,000 in damage.
Fire crews were called to the Falcon Pointe apartments around 10:30 a.m. for a report of a refrigerator on fire.
When they arrived, fire had spread to the ceiling.
