A house fire that did $25,000 of damage Friday has left a man, his wife and dog without a place to live.
Tucson Fire Capt. Trish Tracy said the American Red Cross will help the family with shelter, medication and food.
Firefighters arrived at the scene of the blaze, in the 2200 block of East Poquita Vista near South Campbell Avenue and East 36th Street, about 1:45 p.m., Tracy said.
Tracy said the fire was caused by heat conduction. The man had been soldering as he installed a new hot water heater. The heat from the soldering caused some flammable materials in the ceiling to catch fire.
