LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Two people were taken to the hospital Wednesday morning after a house fire in South Lubbock.

A man and woman were taken to local hospitals for smoke inhalation, according to LFR. Fire officials confirmed five pets were inside the home and four died. LFR was able to save one dog.
