On scene, smoke and fire was seen coming from the rear of the home and extending to the attic. The residents of the home were outside and explained that they had awoken to smoke in the kitchen area. As they escaped the home, they closed the door to that area of the house. Additionally, they informed responders that pets were still inside.

Firefighters say they made an “aggressive interior attack” on the kitchen and attic space above. One dog was rescued during their response, but another died in the kitchen area.
