EDMONTON -- A house fire in the Sakaw neighbourhood in southeast Edmonton was quickly extinguished by fire crews Friday morning. 

The fire at 6223 12 Ave. was reported at 3:42 a.m. and was mainly confined to the back of the home.

Crews worked quickly and the fire was out within seven minutes. One female occupant of the home suffered minor injuries.

The woman's son told CTV News Edmonton that his mother lost everything in the fire but she does have insurance. Only one of her three dogs survived. One of her two cats was found alive days later and is recovering. One cat and three parrots died in the blaze.
