GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Fire crews say an unattended candle caused a house fire on Green Bay’s east side Thursday.
The call went out around 9:45 a.m. for the fire at 1401 N. Irwin Street.
When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke coming out of the windows. The blaze was on the first floor in the back of the structure and crews quickly put it out.
No one was home, but firefighters found a dog inside who was lethargic. The dog was taken to an ambulance, where the family pet was given oxygen and it recovered. The dog was then taken to a veterinarian for observation.
The Red Cross is caring for the four adults who lived in the house.
Damage to the house is estimated at $40,000.
