(KLZA)-- A Falls City home is considered a total loss following an overnight fire.
The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department and the Falls City Rural Fire Department responded to a call at 807, East 12th Street shortly after 11:30 Sunday evening.
When firefighters arrived on the scene flames were coming out of the roof of the home.
There was no one home at the time of the fire. Home owners Roger and Angelina Reynolds had left earlier in the evening for supper and had not returned.
Public Information Officer Jon McQueen said multiple puppies were saved.
The extreme cold led to equipment freezing up and McQueen advised the street in the area is very slick.
Firefighters remained on the scene until 5:30 Monday morning, then returned at 7:30 Monday morning when the fire rekindled.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation . The State Fire Marshall was at the fire in the early stages but the fire was not under control. He will return for the investigation when temperatures warm up.
McQueen reported there were no injuries while nearly 20 firefighters battled the blaze.
