A man was burned while trying to save his pet cat from a house fire in Santa Rosa. Firefighters responded to the blaze, after multiple 911 calls about a series of explosions off of Sonoma Highway near Acacia Lane Tuesday night. A home on the 4600 block of Sonoma Highway was on fire. Fire officials say the lone occupant of the home escaped the fire with second-degree burns to his upper body and was rushed to a hospital. Investigators believe the cause of the fire was electrical in nature.
