First responders arrived at the scene of a fire on Wednesday afternoon at a home in Pittsburgh’s Mount Washington neighborhood.

Pittsburgh firefighters discovered three pets — two cats in one home and a dog in another home — during the incident. None of the pets survived the blaze.

The fire occurred in the 500 block of Griffin Street. The residents were not home at the time of the fire.

Pittsburgh firefighters, EMS and police responded at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday. The fire was raised to 3-alarms due to heat related weather.

No other injuries were reported.

The Fire Investigation Unit is looking into the cause.
