One man was taken to hospital and one cat is missing as a result of an east end house fire this afternoon, says a city fire official.
Joe May, platoon chief with the Sault Ste. Marie Fire Services, said one adult male was transported to Sault Area Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
One cat was recovered alive from the house, while a second remains missing at press time.
The fire, which was called in at 3:54 p.m., originated in the basement, said May.
By 4:39 the fire was under control, said May.
"(The fire was) not suspicious in nature, however city fire will be doing an investigation into the cause," said May.
