A pet dog was injured and two residents were displaced in an early morning fire at a Hillcrest-area home Tuesday.
The house on Brookes Avenue near Third Avenue went up in flames for unknown reasons shortly after 5:30 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. The fire caused about $150,000 in damage.
The two adults who live in the two-story home were unhurt, fire officials said. However, their pet Dachshund suffered smoke inhalation, according to news reports.
The dog was taken to a veterinarian to be treated, according to the SDFRD.
The American Red Cross was summoned to assist the displaced residents, fire officials said.
