WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — A dog escaped a West Hartford fire on Friday morning as firefighters investigate the cause.
Fire officials said the West Hartford Fire Department (WHFD) responded to a report of smoke coming from the roof of a home on High Farms Road at approximately 10:20 a.m. Friday.
When crews got to the scene, smoke was showing from the ridge and gable end vents of the house. Officers spoke with neighbors and they found that the owners of the house weren't home but there may be a dog in the house.
A line was stretched to the second floor where the fire was located in a bedroom and quickly extinguished. The building was then searched for any people inside. The dog that was reported in the house was out of there by the time fire officials got to the scene, officials said. Animal control then responded.
There was no fire extension beyond the original fire room the rest of the house had smoke damage.
The WHFD Fire Marshal's Office responded to the scene and began their investigation after all operations were done. The Red Cross then went to the scene to help the homeowners.
The scene has now been given WHFD Fire Marshal’s Office to investigate.
