There were 14 family pets in the house — one rabbit, four dogs and nine cats. The rabbit and five cats survived the fire as firemen and EMS using pet oxygen masks to help save them.

Two people, an adult woman and her adult son, were not in the home at the time of the blaze on Deerfoot Lane.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

    I am so glad they were able to help the animals. I have known many people that treat and love their pets just like kids. I am one. Special thanks to those that helped.

    God bless these medics. My parents were medics and I know how hard this job can be. So glad to see that they were able to save so many.
