Around 2:45 pm, fire crews were dispatched to a structure fire on the 16000 block of Brac Place in Grass Valley. The fire was determined to have been caused by a pet.
The pet knocked over items onto unattended candles, NCCF said.
Fire officials reminded the community not to leave a candle unattended.
“Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface a foot away from anything flammable,” NCCFD said in a statement. “Keep the candle away from drafts (ceiling fans and air vents) and always extinguish the candle properly before leaving the room (make sure the ember is no longer glowing).”
