One of the homes under construction was occupied, but no one was in the home at the time of the blaze. The other completed home was vacant.
Officials say the vacant home was unstable and had to be taken down with an excavator. The two other homes under construction have been torn down.
According to the fire department, Deputy Fire Marshal Tom Carano, who also serves as a firefighter, was able to save a cat that was hiding under a couch. No injuries were reported
