Fire at Ebor
Saturday 13 November 1937, The Argus (Melbourne)
CAT GAVE FIRE ALARM
FAMILY SAVED: HOUSE BURNED
SYDNEY, Friday.
Frantic cries from a cat saved the lives of a family at Ebor, near Guyra, early this morning, when the home of Mr. Jack Cavanagh was destroyed by fire.
Cavanagh was awakened by a cat meowing loudly, and on investigation found the rear of the house in flames. The cat had been locked in the kitchen overnight by mistake, and as the flames spread the cat’s cries gave the alarm.
Cavanagh aroused his family and a youth who was staying at the house.
The building was destroyed.
Old news from Armidale and New England 
Ha, this begs an obvious question…!
