Firefighters from all three stations responded to a mobile home that was fully engulfed in flames around 2:30 p.m Thursday along Rose Street and were able to douse the blaze in under five minutes.

Firefighters say the resident of the home suffered slight smoke inhalation and was treated on scene by EMS. Firefighters were able to save three dogs from the home. Unfortunately an undisclosed number of dogs perished in the fire that remains under investigation.

“It was a fully engulfed mobile home and (crews) got a quick knock down, (they) were able to save a few of the dogs that were in the house. Unfortunately some didn’t make it.” said platoon chief Scott Nadeau.

Crews remained on scene for approximately three hours to continue their investigation.
