Tulsa House Fire Sends Woman To Hospital, Kills 2 Pets

Firefighters worked in intense heat to knock down a house fire that sent one woman to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and killed a cat and a dog.

District Chief Jim Long said the woman in the house called around 5:30 p.m., saying there was a fire in the bedroom at the home in the 4700 block of South 66th East Avenue. He said dispatchers were able to help her get out of the house.

When firefighters arrived, Long said flames were coming out of a window on the front of the house.

The woman was in the backyard. Long said she was treated for smoke inhalation by paramedics and transported to a local hospital.

With the heat index in the triple digits, Long said firefighters from several engines took turns working to put out the fire, swapping out regularly to avoid getting too hot.

Long said a dog and a cat were found dead in the home.

He said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
