GWINNETT COUNTY, Georgia (WGCL) — Gwinnett County firefighters rescued a family’s golden retriever after their home caught fire Thursday.

Firefighters responded to the fire in the 100 block of Lester Woods Court and were told there may be a dog inside the house.

Despite a working fire, with heavy smoke, firefighters were able to find the dog and get it out of the home.

Fire crews used their pet oxygen mask to treat the dog on the scene. The dog is OK.

Fire crews determined that the fire was accidental and started on the back deck, before spreading to the home.
