Fire officials were called to the scene at 11:45 p.m. Monday, Flores said, to a house that was “fully involved,” with flames throughout the house.

Fire was on scene at 11:51 p.m., and the fire was reported knocked down at 12:08 a.m. Tuesday, he said.

According to a witness, an elderly woman was rescued by neighbors before firefighters arrived.  A dog that was also rescued, succumbed to smoke inhalation, although firefighters provided cpr to the dog.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation, Flores said.
