A fire is burning a two-story Victorian home near the intersection of Grant and B Street. The fire which started about 10:35 p.m. forced the resident and his two dogs to flee. However, there are several other pets including three ducks, a cat and a turtle.

This is a second alarm fire.

Turtles are nasty animals to keep as pets. Many carry disease. Just a heads up to those thinking about getting one (esp. those with small children)

Any update on the turtle? Hope it made it out safe and sound.
BTW humans are nasty animals to keep as pets. Many carry diseases. Just a heads up to those thinking about getting one, especially those with small children. Pretty safe bet they hurt/kill a whole lot more people than turtles do.
