Damage is estimated at $550,000 after a house fire on the Mountain.
Firefighters were called to a semi-detached home on Lynbrook Drive, near Mohawk and Garth, at around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
Crews entered the home, found a well-involved fire in the basement, and began searching for anyone inside.
No one was home at the time of the blaze, but two dogs and a cat were removed from the home.
Officials say all three family pets died.
The fire marshal has been called in to investigate the cause.
