Three pets are dead after a house fire in London, Ont., according to officials.

Fire crews with the London Fire Department were called to a blaze at 63 Guildford Crescent Sunday morning around 2:30 a.m.

Two residents were able to escape.

One person was assessed by paramedics. Their condition is unknown.

“They had their two dogs with them, however, two cats and a bird did perish,” platoon chief Colin Shewell told 980 CFPL.

The cause of the fire is believed to be a firepit in or around a wood deck and a gazebo area.
