"Firefighters aggressively went right to work extinguishing fire and searching the residence. During this an unconscious dog was located and removed from the residence," fire company officials said.

The Northfield Volunteer Fire Co. took the dog to a local animal hospital and was last said to be in stable condition.

A cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Meanwhile, if you ever wanted to meet your local volunteer firefighters and thank them for their service, the Bargaintown Fire Company will be holding an open house on Monday, October 11, from 6 to 8 p.m.
