Pet Monkey Dead and Dog Missing after Fire

Summary:

KNOX, IN – One pet has died, and another is missing following an hour-long battle against a house fire in Knox. Several fire departments responded to a house fire with possible entrapment Saturday afternoon. Just before 1 p.m., firefighters arrived to find a two-story barn-style home with heavy fire showing on all sides. Crews got to work to put out the flames, but due to water supply complications and deteriorating building conditions, members were pulled from the building.

Firefighters then had to work to control the blaze from the outside of the house. They remained on scene for nearly 3 and a half hours. While no people were injured, two dogs ran away from the scene yesterday. One was returned to the family today, but another remains missing. A pet monkey died in the fire.
