Firefighters brought the man down on a ladder. He was not injured, officials said.

They then went in the house with hoses to make sure nobody was inside, finding only the two pets.

The cat, which had been overcome by smoke, was resuscitated by paramedics and taken to a veterinarian by its owners, officials said.

Nobody else was hurt.

Firefighters got the blaze under control in about 20 minutes. It caused an estimated $250,000 in damage to the house and displaced the four adults who lived there, officials said.

The Santa Rosa Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire. It was started accidentally, officials said.
