Firefighters in Camden battled an early morning house fire Friday that spread through portions of a residential building and prompted a response from animal control.
Emergency crews responded to the 800 block of Morgan Street shortly after 2 a.m., where firefighters encountered flames on the first and second floors of a home.
Crews worked to bring the blaze under control, with the bulk of the fire knocked down by approximately 2:30 a.m.
During the emergency, a dog was pulled from the building, and animal control was requested to respond. The animal’s condition was not immediately available.
Fire officials also notified the American Red Cross to assist those potentially affected by the blaze.
The fire was reported at 821 Morgan Street, according to an updated incident report.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, and the cause of the fire remains unclear.
