Six people and their pets had to be rescued when an apartment in Tempe went up in flames on Saturday. Firefighters were called out to a complex on Broadway Road just west of McClintock Drive around 7 p.m. Fire officials said one adult, five kids and three dogs were trapped so crews got them out safely. The fire call was bumped up to a first alarm, which means dozens more firefighters and resources showed up to put out the flames. Investigators said there were no people injured but firefighters used a FIDO bag to try and save one of the dogs. Sadly that dog died. The fire caused heavy damage so five people will have to stay somewhere else. An investigation is underway into what started the fire.
