After hearing cries for help, fire crews breached a window to save a trapped resident and four dogs from a smoke-filled Port St. Lucie home early Sunday morning.
Firefighters with the St. Lucie County Fire District say they responded to a home in Port St. Lucie at 1:50 a.m. on Sunday for reports of a structure ire.
While en route, dispatch told crews the caller reported seeing smoke and hearing someone calling for help, per SLCFD.
Upon arrival, firefighters reported seeing smoke billowing from the roofline with all doors secured.
When the Port St. Lucie Police Department confirmed with firefighters that someone was heard inside, crews entered through a window to search the residence and initiate an interior fire attack.
Crews reported locating the trapped occupant, rescuing them, and transporting them to a local trauma center.
During the search firefighters located and removed five dogs from the home, with one dog succumbing to their injuries sustained in the blaze.
Just 30 minutes after their arrival, SLCFD said the fire was completely contained.
