Woman injured, 3 dogs safe after home burns down in east Mesa
MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- A woman and a dog are safe after a house completely burned down in east Mesa Tuesday morning.
Mesa fire officials say the blaze broke out before 9 a.m. in the area of Palo Verde Street and Hampton Avenue. When firefighters arrived, they found a home fully engulfed in flames about to spread to a nearby home. Although crews were able to get control and put out the fire, by that point the home was a complete loss. Video from residents nearby showed the home a huge pummel of black smoke billowing out from the home.
Firefighters say a woman who was inside suffered minor burns and her three dogs were able to get out safely. An investigation is now underway to determine what caused the fire.
