Two people escaped a fire Sunday morning but their dogs died in the blaze.

Ken Eurto, Hannawa Falls fire chief, said fire crews from Hannawa Falls, Pierrepont, County Car 10, Parishville and West Potsdam help battle the Hadley Road fire.

The blaze was reported early Sunday, as homeowners were able to make it out of the structure.

Once on scene, firefighters had to battle a fully involved fire with smoke and flames, Eurto said.

One homeowner, who made it out safely, tried to rescue his dogs but flames overcame him in the entryway, the chief said.

Firefighters were on scene for about two hours before the fire was declared out, Eurto said.
