Six cats were killed and a dog was missing after a Friday afternoon central valley blaze, which also caused about $25,000 in damage, according to Las Vegas Fire & Rescue.

Crews responded about 3:40 p.m. to a two-story townhouse on Blackford Court, near Valley View Boulevard and Pennwood Avenue, officials said.

The flames were sparked around a stove, and no one was home, officials said. Two adults and two children were displaced.

The fire remained under investigation.
