JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department crews responded to a house fire on Saturday, near Pulaski Road on the city\u2019s Northside. Firefighters say heavy smoke was visible when personnel arrived, and crews quickly traced the fire to a laundry room.<\/p>\n
Firefighters worked to prevent the laundry-room fire from spreading while other teams searched the home. During the search, firefighters found a dog and a cat and carried both pets outside for treatment.<\/p>\n

Firefighters from Station 37 began resuscitation efforts immediately. JFRD said both animals were treated on scene, showed significant improvement and survived. <\/p>\n
No residents or firefighters were injured in the fire. <\/p>\n
JFRD said preliminary findings indicate the fire started in the laundry area and may have been caused by an electrical malfunction near a clothes dryer. Dryers are a common source of residential fires, so residents are encouraged to clean lint traps regularly and have any appliance electrical issues inspected immediately. <\/p>\n
