Fire scene

ZAMORA, CA - A woman was awoken by her two dogs around 5:49 a.m. Tuesday morning to find her Yolo County home filled with smoke.

The woman rushed to help her disabled uncle out of the home and then ran back to get the dogs. However, she was unable to get back into the home to her dogs.

Fortunately, arriving firefighters got into the home and rescued the dogs.

Several local volunteer firefighters assisted the Yolo County Fire Dept. with containment and rescue efforts.

The woman said she believed the fire started in the furnace, but the Yolo County Fire Dept. would not confirm her speculation.
