JERMYN -- An early morning fire had crews from multiple fire departments in Lackawanna County fighting the flames.

Fire crews from Jermyn arrived first on the scene and say flames were coming out the first floor of this apartment building on Bridge Street.

Three streets had to be blocked off so firefighters could battle the flames.

Fire crews had a rehab center to make sure those fighting the flames didn't overheat.

There was no one home at the time of the fire except for the dog who died of smoke inhalation.

“At first, we thought there was someone in the building, but luckily, the lady had gone to breakfast with a friend…seems like we got the fire knocked down good,” said Jermyn Borough Fire Department Chief Ray Rood.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
