Crews searched the home for any occupants and did not find any. They later learned that the two people inside the home got out safely. However, one dog died in the fire and another escaped.
Lt. Steve Bennett with Cobb County Fire Emergency Services said they believe the fire started downstairs. One of the residents of the home told firefighters that he had a space heater plugged in behind a couch downstairs.
Firefighters have not confirmed if that was the cause of the fire.
The two people who escaped the fire were taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance for smoke exposure.
