Overview
- Phoenix fire crews arrived to heavy smoke and flames at a home on Leodra Lane near 51st and Southern and conducted an interior search while extinguishing the fire.
- Firefighters found two dogs inside, treated them for smoke inhalation with 'Fido bags' (pet oxygen masks), and took both animals to an animal hospital where they survived.
- No people were inside the home and no human injuries were reported, but four residents were displaced by damage to the property.
- The Phoenix Fire Department confirmed the animal rescues on its official social account and said investigators are working at the scene to determine the blaze's origin.
- Displaced residents will need temporary housing and repairs to the home will depend on the investigators' findings and insurance assessments.
