Structure Fire

  At 01:29 the Johnson City Fire Department was dispatched to a residential fire at 1905 Preston Rd. Upon arrival heavy smoke and flame was observed coming from the front of the house. We were advised by the neighbors across the street that they had spoken to the resident on the phone and that he was on his way to the scene. They also advised that there were several pets in the house. We began searching the house for the pets and discovered a dog and three birds. They all succumbed to the smoke. Resuscitation  was attempted on the dog to no avail. Firefighters were able to rapidly extend hose lines and extinguish the fire. The JCFD had three engines two ladder trucks and one command vehicle on the scene for approximately two hours. In all thirteen fire personnel worked the scene. The Fire Marshall was called in to investigate the fire and at this point is undetermined. The Red Cross was contacted to render aid.
