A dog and cat died in a house fire that broke out late Monday morning near Nesses Corner Road in Port Hadlock.
The house itself suffered heavy smoke and fire damage but no people were hurt, according to Bill Beezley, spokesman for East Jefferson Fire-Rescue (EJFR).
Crews from EJFR, Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue and Naval Magazine Indian Island were called to the fire at 11:30 a.m., and when they arrived on the scene, saw smoke and flames coming from a basement window, according to Beezley.
