Multiple animals died as the result of a structure fire that took place last week in Monongalia County, according to an area volunteer fire department.
Upon initial arrival of the first responders, the structure was fully engulfed in flames. Witnesses reported to responders that an elderly victim may be inside the structure. However, an arriving family member promptly contacted the the homeowner and confirmed that they were not in the residence at that time and were safe.
Once the fire was brought under control, the remains of several animals were located. There were no reported human injuries or fatalities. The cause of the fire, along with all related circumstances, is currently under investigation.
