HIALEAH, Fla. – Five dogs were rescued Monday afternoon from a fire that destroyed a Hialeah home.
The fire started at a house near the corner of West 14th Avenue and West 38th Street.
Firefighters said nobody was home at the time of the fire, but the family's pets were inside.
A pug dog and four other dogs were saved from the home.
Although firefighters were able to save the dogs, a parakeet wasn't as lucky.
Electricity was shut off to eight homes in the neighborhood because of the fire.
