WARREN COUNTY, Iowa -- Firefighters believe a goat kick started a fire that destroyed a home in Warren County on Tuesday.

Three people were asleep when smoke began filling Jim and Kristi Giles’ home in Warren County, between Norwalk and Indianola.

"My cat woke me up and I saw smoke coming out of my fan," said John Hadley. "My first concern was getting my mom out of the house. Because, like I said, my mom is real ill. And so that's what I did. I made sure I got her out and then I know she loves her animals, so I rounded all her animals up, and by that point, flames and smoke were everywhere."
