A man's efforts to keep his pig warm during this week's freeze resulted in a fire that caused about $50,000 in damages to his St. Johns County home.
Firefighters were called about 10:20 p.m. about a home on fire. They later learned the homeowner brought his pig onto the porch and put out a space heater to keep it warm, WJXT-TV in Jacksonville reported.
The pig apparently knocked over the heater, which started the fire, according to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue investigators.
While everyone who lives in the home got out safely, the pig died in the fire.
