SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse firefighters said one person was injured after fire broke out multiple times at the same house on Rich Street. The original call came in at noon, but flames rekindled a second time later on Saturday afternoon.

Firefighters said more than a dozen people lived at the house. One woman was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, but nobody else was hurt. However, a dog and a cat living at the house died.

The local chapter of the American Red Cross is helping the victims. Investigators said a faulty extension cord sparked the flames.
