Crews have put out a fire at a home on the southwest side of the metro.

Firefighters were called out to the home near SW 26th St. and S. Portland Ave. Crews reported seeing smoke pouring from the home upon arrival.

The homeowner was not in the house at the time, according to firefighters. Unfortunately a number of dogs inside the home perished in the blaze. The homeowner later arrived and told firefighters 14 dogs were inside. Eleven of the dogs are believed to have died. 

The cause has not yet been determined, but firefighters think the problem may have been exacerbated by an overabundance of contents inside the home.

Crews did a great job helping this one. We believe this one will be okay. pic.twitter.com/sdc8mVK36T
