No people were hurt but a dog died Wednesday in a house fire in that caused significant damage to a home in Guadalupe County.

Preliminary findings seemed to point to a heat lamp starting the blaze, one of a few such causes of structure fires his department responded to in a two-day span, Seguin Fire Chief Dale Skinner said.

“I want to put out a reminder to everyone to please use caution with heat lamps. We have had several fires over the last couple of days caused by heat lamps,” he said. “We understand the need and desire to keep your pets warm in this frigid weather, but you have to be very cautious as to where you place the lamp and that you put it in an area that cannot be reached by the animal as they can knock them over and catch any combustible material on fire.”
