Crews were able to control the fire a short time after arrival as well as search the residence for anyone inside."
Casper Fire-EMS reported that nobody was found in the residence, and firefighters were able to rescue numerous pets from the home; none of whom appeared injured.
Fighters of the fire were able to contain the fire to the garage of the residence. They later found out that smoke alarms alerted the three occupants of the home, and they were able to evacuate the residence prior to the arrival of the firefighters.
