Firefighters first worked to extinguish fire at parts of the home that could have allowed it to spread to neighboring residences. Then, they searched the interior and continued fighting the fire until it was deemed under control at 5:24 a.m.
The home is considered a total loss due to fire, smoke and water damage, according to the fire department. A dog had gone missing from the home during the fire, but was found safe several hours later.
