(Enid, OK) The Enid Fire Department was called to put out a small house fire on West Cherokee Monday afternoon.
Around 1:30 p.m., firefighters responded to the residence in the 1700 block of West Cherokee after a fire was spotted in an upstairs bedroom.
Per Fire Marshal Ken Helms, a young child had disposed of a lighter in a trash can, accidentally sparking the fire.
No injuries were reported, but the family reported a pet bearded dragon died in the fire. A dog was located safely within the home. The room of origin had significant smoke damage, and its wood-paneled walls were charred.
