Firefighters responded to a house fire on Knowlton Street just after 12 p.m. Sunday.
Officials tell us, there was an initial report of people trapped in the house, but everyone made it out safely before crews arrived.
Firefighters did learn that several pets were still inside; they were able to rescue all of them.
We’re told, it took about forty minutes to knock down the flames, but firefighters remained on the scene for about three hours.
