LAKE CITY, Fla. — Firefighters responded to a residential structure fire late Saturday night in Lake City, according to the Lake City Fire Department.
Crews were dispatched at approximately 9:52 p.m. to 1167 SW Fairfax Glen after reports of a house fire. Arriving units found heavy fire coming through the roof at the back of the home.
The department said that because of the fire’s size and the proximity of neighboring houses, firefighters conducted a defensive attack—fighting the fire from the outside—to bring it under control while protecting nearby properties.
No civilians or firefighters were injured, and authorities said one dog was rescued from the house.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Lake City Police Department are investigating the cause of the fire.
The scene was cleared around 1:30 a.m.
Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call the Lake City Police Department at 386-752-4343, or submit anonymous tips through the LCPD Tips Line at 386-719-2068.
