One firefighter suffered a facial injury from falling debris. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

All family members got out of the house safely before crews arrived and were evaluated for smoke inhalation, and advise firefighters a dog was still inside the home. Firefighters searched extensively for the dog, which was eventually found and treated at the scene before being taken to an emergency vet’s office.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The damage is estimated at $100,000.
