A Dewey family grieves after a fire in their home takes the lives of two pets.

 Dewey Fire Chief Justin Miller says the call came in around 9:30 Wednesday morning in the 900 block of North Ross. Several agencies responded to the call.

 Miller says firefighters were able to get the blaze under control in about an hour, but remained on scene for a total of three hours to put out the hot spots. He says the rear part of the home was destroyed, but they were able to save the front part of the house.

 Although the residents were able to get out, Miller says there were two pets who couldn’t be saved.

 The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
