Three people were inside the residence when the fire started. One of the individuals woke up smelling smoke and alerted the other residents.
Two individuals made it safely out of the house, but the third attempted to rescue four dogs. Three of the dogs were able to make it outside, but unfortunately, one died in the fire.
Partin said the individual, who attempted to save the animals, suffered burns to their upper body. That individual was transported to Baptist Health Corbin for treatment.
