A dog was rescued from a Thomasville house fire Monday morning, according to the city’s fire chief.
Thomasville Fire Rescue Chief Tim Connell says his department got the call about a fire at a single-story home on Remington Avenue at 9:13 a.m. Three people managed to get out of the home on their own, Connell says.
During the primary search, firefighters found a dog inside and pulled it out, according to Connell. The dog was OK and taken to a veterinarian in the area for monitoring.
The fire was put out in 15 minutes, and about a quarter of the house was damaged, Connell says. Firefighters did report heavy smoke damage throughout the building.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
