Two Dogs Rescued From Fatal House Fire in Dallas, Oregon

Firefighters rescued two dogs from a house fire in Dallas, Oregon, on Friday evening, September 18. A man found inside the home died from his injuries, according to Dallas Fire & EMS accounts reported by KPTV and KOIN.

Crews responded near Southeast LaCreole Drive and Southeast Hankel Street after being told someone might still be inside. They located the man during a search and brought the two dogs out safely.

Support for the displaced household

KPTV reported that two other residents were already outside when firefighters arrived. Its updated account does not establish whether they had been home when the fire started.

The American Red Cross is helping the family with support and housing. The reports do not give a veterinary assessment of either dog or identify the cause of the fire.

How we reported this: Both reports rely on the Dallas fire department. They differ on the precise dispatch time, so this brief uses Friday evening. No cause, canine diagnosis or claim that the residents rescued the dogs has been inferred.
