One man was taken to the hospital and several pets are believed to be dead after a fire tore through a home in Coconut Creek overnight.

According to officials, the fire broke out at a home on Palmetto Drive, off of Northwest Ninth Street, just around the corner from Broward College, at around 4:15 a.m. on Monday.

Extensive damage could be seen to both the exterior and interior of the home. The property remained taped off as firefighters helped the family a block away.

Paramedics transported a man to a nearby hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

Officials said the family’s dog made it out alive, but they believe seven cats died as a result of the fire.

Those who live at the home will now stay with family for the time being as the home has been deemed unsafe.

The cause of this fire remains under investigation.
