A house on Riverside Road belonging to John and Tammy Freitas
was destroyed in a fire on Saturday, and while no one was injured,
five dogs were killed in the flames, family members said.
More than a dozen firefighters from the Hollister Fire
Department, CalFire and San Benito County Fire Department battled
the blaze for more than four hours, spraying the structure with
massive water hoses and chopping down walls with axes. In the end,
however, the house was doomed and burned to the ground.
