Firefighters in Port Angeles say multiple pets died in a house fire Wednesday night.
Crews were called to the home in the 400 block of South Valley Street at 9:30 p.m. to find heavy fire.
Because of limited staff, firefighters had to fight the flames from the outside.
The person who lived in the home escaped due to a smoke detector, but their pets died in the fire.
When more fire crews arrived, they were able to also fight the flames from the inside and do a search of the home.
The cause is under investigation.
