Long Beach Apartment Fire Kills 33 Pets, No Injuries Reported

A fire broke out early Sunday morning in a three-story apartment building in the California Heights neighborhood of Long Beach, resulting in the deaths of 32 cats and one dog. The blaze was reported around 7:21 a.m. and was quickly contained to a single unit on the third floor, preventing it from spreading to other apartments. No people were present in the unit at the time, and no injuries were reported. The animals were being housed for adoption, according to the resident of the apartment. The apartment sustained significant damage, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation by authorities. Long Beach Fire Department and Animal Services responded promptly, but it is unclear if any other animals were rescued or involved.
