Firefighters quickly got the fire under control and searched the home to make sure no one was trapped inside.

The Lake City Fire Department says all five residents made it out safely, and there were no injuries to either the family or firefighters.

One dog died in the fire, while two other dogs escaped.

The family is now without a home as investigators from the local police and the State Fire Marshal’s office work to find out what caused the fire.
