CONCORD, N.C. — Concord firefighters responded to a house fire that displaced several residents on Sunday evening.
Crews responded to the 200 block of Patrick Avenue SW just after 5 p.m. When they arrived, they found fire and smoke showing from the rear of both levels of the home.
Officials said the fire was controlled within 18 minutes and no one was injured.

When firefighters arrived on scene, residents told them their pet dog was still inside the home.
Firefighters rescued the dog from the basement. Officials said the dog was unconscious when it was brought out of the home.
The dog was revived and walking around after 20 minutes of firefighters administering care and using a pet oxygen mask.
