Firefighters rescued four animals from a house fire in the 200 block of West Eighth during a mid-morning response.
Crews arrived to find a significant fire in a back room of the residence, with smoke throughout the structure. Firefighters quickly located and removed four animals from the home. Two of the animals were unconscious and not breathing when they were pulled out, but crews were able to revive them. All four animals survived.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire without it spreading beyond the room of origin. Officials said there was no extension of the fire into the attic or the basement.
The cause of the fire has not yet been released and no injuries were reported.
