Multiple apartments were damaged after a fire in Dallas on Friday morning, officials said. According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, units were dispatched to a call regarding a fire in a restroom at an apartment located at 4503 Lake Avenue shortly before 5 a.m. Fire-Rescue officials said firefighters responded to the scene and declared the fire extinguished at 5:18 a.m. The fire damaged two apartments and displaced six residents and two cats, officials said. According to officials, the American Red Cross was notified to assist those who were displaced. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, officials said.

A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville. It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it. “You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.” Any reservations about calling in such a story were put to rest when the dispatcher calmly responded, “OK. I do believe you, honestly,” then laughed. The driver relayed that another person also saw the cat drop, remarking, “He’s like, ‘That is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.’ I’m like, ‘Really?’” The dispatcher offered some assurance, saying, “Oh my goodness. Let’s see. I’ve heard crazier.” “Well, that’s terrifying,” the caller said, to which the dispatcher replied with more nervous laughter, “Yeah.” After getting the driver’s location, the dispatcher said she would send the Highway Patrol to do a report. “Another question,” the dispatcher asked. “Is the cat still alive?” The caller said it wasn’t, but noted that the cat was on the side of the road and not in her car. “Ok, I have to ask just to make sure,” the dispatcher said. Kendrick Weeks, Western Wildlife Diversity Program supervisor for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, said the cat dropped on the car could have been roadkill scavenged by the eagle. “But they can take animals the size of a cat,” he said. “It is much harder for them to take a live cat than a dead cat. They usually don’t prey on something they don’t find palatable. And, scavenging is a common behavior in bald eagles.” Eagles and other raptors can drop prey for several reasons, including having a poor grip or if the prey is struggling and the birds are trying to prevent injury to themselves, Weeks added. Prey can also be dropped if a raptor is being harassed by another raptor or the prey becomes too heavy to continue carrying. Bald eagles are native to North Carolina and most of North America. Their populations have been increasing, and there are more than 200 nesting pairs in North Carolina. The birds can weigh anywhere from 6 1/2 to 13 1/2 pounds (3 kilograms to 6.3 kilograms) and have wingspans of 6 to 7 feet (1.8 meters to 2.1 meters), Weeks told The Associated Press.
