PROSPECT HEIGHTS, Ill. Firefighters in suburban Prospect Heights say malfunctioning holiday lights may be to blame for a Christmas Eve fire that left 52 condo residents homeless.
Officials have ruled that the blaze was accidental.
No people were injured in the fire Sunday morning, but two cats were killed.
The fire caused an estimated $900,000 in damage to the three-story building.
Prospect Heights Fire District Deputy Chief Tim Jones urged residents to be careful when hanging lights. He cautioned not to plug too many lights into one outlet.
A fund for the fire's victims has been established at a Prospect Heights bank.
