The fire is reported to be in a 2-story structure that had been converted to apartments.
The alarm first came in at 7:36 pm Sunday evening to the structure in the 1800 block of Washington.
When Pumper 9 arrived a minute later- they reported fire showing from a 2nd-story window.
The fire department response was upgraded to a 1st-alarm- sending 3 more fire companies to assist the 5 already there or arriving.
While firefighters spray 3 handlines on the fire- it's been determined that all human occupants got out- but 2 dogs were still inside.
Firefighters bring one "large" dog out at 7:51 pm- and begin doing first-aid on the injured animal.
The 2nd dog was brought out at 7:58 pm- no word on that animal's condition- but Animal Control was requested.
The fire was brought under control by 7:50 pm- overhaul and salvage is being performed now.
No firefighter injuries have been reported.
