A Yakima family is counting their blessings after a fire destroyed a good portion of their home Sunday night. Owners of a local business, Cascade Gardens, woke up to what they thought were the family pets at the back door, but turned out to be flames shooting through the back windows of their home. "The next thing I know it's just too loud to ignore and I get up, open the doors to one of the rooms in the house, and it's just full of flames," homeowner Eileen Weresch told us.
