A HOUSE FIRE leaves a Cottonwood home in the 600 block of Seventh Place gutted and smoldering as fire crews from Cottonwood Fire Department and Verde Valley Fire District work to extinguish the remaining hot spots Sept. 19. The fire appeared to be electrical in nature according to CFD Fire Marshal Rick Contreras and started from a faulty dryer in the laundry room. One woman was at home at the time of the 8:30 a.m. fire and got out safely, but six dogs died in the fire. The homeowners have no insurance and lost everything in the fast-burning blaze. No other homes in the neighborhood were damaged.
