While the residents of the home were able to escape the blaze, they told firefighters of two cats and a dog believed to still be trapped inside.
Rescue officials were able to locate the dog and one cat, and returned them to safety, but were unable to find the second cat inside the home.
According to firefighters, properly working smoke detectors alerted the residents of the fire in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
“We can’t stress enough the importance of properly working smoke detectors in your home,” officials said on social media Tuesday morning, reminding the public to check smoke detector batteries at least twice annually.
Officials said the blaze was extinguished quickly, and no one was injured during the incident.
