SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A house fire in Sioux Falls killed a dog and caused minor injuries to a firefighter.
The fire in the single-family home was discovered by a family member Wednesday afternoon. She reported that the family pet was still inside the home, but heavy smoke prevented firefighters from getting to the animal.
The fire department did not elaborate on the injuries to the firefighter.
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Jim Powers tells the Argus Leader that the fire started in the home’s basement. The cause was not immediately determined.
The home had moderate fire damage and smoke damage throughout. The family was displaced.
