Firefighters say two dogs – a Husky and a mix – were found deceased in a bedroom.
The fire appears to have started in the basement of the home. Firefighters are still investigating the cause but believe the fire may have been burning for a considerable time given the flames burned through the main floor of the home.
Damage is pegged at $150,000.
