One adult and the two children were in the home at the time of the fire and were unharmed. Authorities treated a woman onsite for minor smoke inhalation.
Authorities said two dogs, three guinea pigs and a rabbit died in the fire. Family members say they were therapy animals for their daughter with autism.
