In an effort to find forever homes for all of its cats, the An- imal Care Center will waive the adoption fee for adult cats, mak- ing them free to adopt. In addi- tion to free cats, kittens for will have their adoption fee dropped to only $10. Cats ready for adoption are cur- rent on all vaccinations and have been tested for feline leukemia.

TEHAMA DISTRICT FAIR Kickoffdinner,fundraiserset By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A Red Bluff woman and her son were lucky to es- cape a structure fire with power lines down Thursday morning in the 1800 block of Park Avenue, near Douglass Street, less than a mile from Red Bluff High school. The fire was reported at 10:03 a.m. and controlled by 10:25 a.m. "I was inside watching TV, killing time before I had to go into work at 11:30 a.m.," said Ivy Warnecke. "I heard a pop- ping noise and went to look outside. I thought it was the cooler. I saw the smoke and went back inside, calling 9-1-1 as I went down the hall to wake up my son." Warnecke son Logan, who was sleeping in a bedroom at the back of the house, quickly got up, got dressed and went outside to see if he could lo- cate the source of the smoke, she said. "He came out and opened the water heater closet and the fire came blazing out," War- necke said. "He grabbed Lilly, the dog, and handed her to me. My neighbor Ralph was out- side talking on the phone and he grabbed a hose and came over." Wa r necke's nei g hbor grabbed her hose and began spraying her own house, which was saved from catching fire. Due to Logan's quick think- ing, the family car was saved when he drove it out of the carport and parked it on the street, which allowed easier ac- cess to the house for firefight- ers, Warnecke said. Neighbors suggested Lo- gan's quick thinking may be because of his Eagle Scout training. His Eagle Scout Court of Honor was held in June. "I just thank God we weren't all asleep when it happened," Ivy Warnecke said. Her young- est son Nate, a sophomore at Red Bluff High School, was at school and her husband Paul was at work. Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spread- ing to the neighbor's house to the west of the structure and it was undamaged except for tiles, said Fire Chief Ray Bar- ber. The structure that was ini- tially on fire did receive dam- age to the carport and garage area, the front of the house and the attic, but the fire was kept from getting into the bath- room and bedrooms. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but it was not caused by the downed power line, Barber said. An account was set up by friends to help the family with the cost of rebuilding.
