First responders were called to 1202 East Catalpa Avenue just before 6:30 AM for reports of flames and smoke coming from the duplex. Witnesses of the scene say the blaze began in the back of the home. Both the family in the unit and the woman next door were able to get out safely with no injuries, except for the loss of an 18-month-old dog. A neighbor across the street and says he was one of the first to see the scene and call for help.
