After Hurricane Isaias made landfall, Escambia County Fire Rescue responded to a house fire on Saturday.

Crews arrived to find smoke coming from the home at the 6300 block of Sonoma Lane, according to Escambia County Fire Rescue.

Firefighters say they extinguished the fire, but the house sustained significant damage. No one was hurt, but one pet was found dead.

Power had been restored to the area about 30 minutes before the fire was reported.
