A Dallas firefighter<\/a> was taken to a hospital and a cat was revived after a house fire spread to a neighboring home Sunday, Dallas Fire-Rescue said.<\/p>\n

The firefighter was the third Dallas firefighter injured while battling house fires<\/a> Sunday. Earlier that morning, two firefighters were hospitalized with non-life-threatening burn injuries while responding to a blaze in East Oak Cliff. The department has not identified any of the injured firefighters.<\/p>\n

Dallas Fire-Rescue units were dispatched around 6:26 p.m. to a home in the 6900 block of Echo Bluff Drive after a 911 caller reported a fire.<\/p>\n

When firefighters arrived, they saw flames coming from the back of the one-story home. Crews began battling the blaze, but the fire spread to a neighboring home, requiring more firefighters to respond, according to Jason Evans, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman.<\/p>\n

No residents were injured. Firefighters were able to rescue a cat from inside the first home and resuscitated the pet.<\/p>\n

One firefighter was taken to a hospital after suffering a non-life-threatening injury to their arm while trying to put out the flames, Evans said.<\/p>\n

The fire was brought under control around 7:15 p.m., though firefighters remained at the scene to make sure it didn’t spread any further.<\/p>\n

The first home was heavily damaged, while the neighboring home had damage to its roof and attic area, Evans said.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
