A fire that forced a Cary family from their home Sunday has been ruled accidental.
Authorities say the home on 1420 Holt Road went up in flames around 5:30 p.m., forcing the family of six to evacuate.
According to Carrie Roman, public information officer for the Town of Cary, the homeowners say they were trying to get rid of bed bugs by using a jet heater and a blanket when the fire broke out.
The home has been deemed uninhabitable and the Red Cross is helping the family.
According to Roman, three people were treated on scene for smoke inhalation and two birds died in the fire.
