Aquarium shatters, puts out fire in C.R.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – A large aquarium has likely saved a Cedar Rapids home that caught fire.
The aquarium shattered at Ricky Kuda’s home Friday morning after a transformer beneath the aquarium caught fire. The water from the aquarium extinguished the fire.
Cedar Rapids Fire Department spokesman Greg Buelow said the damage would have been much more extensive if the aquarium hadn’t shattered. Buelow said the aquarium was about 4 feet wide.
No one was injured in the fire, but all the fish died.
Buelow said the house sustained moderate smoke damage.
