DESERT HOT SPRINGS (CNS) - A fire that erupted at a Desert Hot Springs home killed a dog and torched three vehicles on the property, fire officials said today.
The fire broke out just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday at a home in the 66000 block of Avenida Barona, causing extensive damage to the home's garage, kitchen and living room, said April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department.
