Firefighters were able to rescue two dogs from house and resuscitate them, Allen said.
More than $175,000 in damage was caused by the fire and the house is considered a total loss, the Deputy Chief said.
Firefighters were unable to use their ladder truck to battle the flames due to trees around the home, which made for a challenging fire fight, Allen said. Crews also had to truck in water due to no fire hydrants near the house.
The fire started in the area of the garage.
