Crews were able to rescue pets from an apartment fire near Lake Worth early Sunday.

Firefighters responded to the Oakwood Apartment complex in the 2400 block of Second Avenue at 2:07 a.m.

Firefighters entered the two-story building to search for pets they had been told were inside.

Shortly after entering the structure, flames blew out the upstairs windows.

Crews were able to quickly bring the fire under control and prevent it from spreading to adjacent apartments.

One dog, one rabbit and six puppies were rescued from the burning building and were all reunited with their owner.

There were no reports of injuries and an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
