CLEARFIELD, Utah — A dog was found dead inside a house that caught fire early Sunday morning in northern Utah.
The fire was reported by a neighbor around 1:15 a.m. near 120 S. 300 West in Clearfield, according to North Davis Fire District officials.
The family created a fundraiser, verified by GoFundMe, to help them in the wake of the tragedy.
"Almost everything we own was destroyed by fire, smoke, or water damage," Marissa Reed wrote. "The hardest part is that our beloved Chow Chow, Kush, didn’t make it, and we are heartbroken as we mourn the loss of our fur baby."
Firefighters from North Davis, Clinton, Syracuse, and Hill Air Force Base responded and found smoke coming from the front of the house, with flames and thick smoke coming from the back.
They found one dog deceased inside when they entered, but they were able to rescue another. No people were inside.
The fire was extinguished about an hour later. Some of the neighboring homes had some exterior damage.
The cause of the fire is not known.
