PHOENIX — Eleven people and six dogs have been displaced after a house fire in central Phoenix.
Phoenix fire officials say they responded to the call just before 10:15 a.m. Saturday morning.
No one was hurt in the blaze. Officials say that neighbors helped the family get the six dogs to safety.
ABC15 spoke with the renter, Rosalina Segrovia who says they did have working smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher, but the flames grew too quickly.
"It grew like this and we're one thousand times fortunate that we were able to get that many people out and all our puppies and our dogs out. We're very fortunate," said Segrovia.
According to firefighters, the cause of the fire is unknown. The family did say they heard a “loud popping noise” from the backside addition to the home.
Sergrovia says four of the puppies have been adopted, and the Red Cross has helped the family with some immediate needs.
The family is now looking for a place to rent, a fundraiser has been created to help the family.
The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
