The occupants of the home were able to make it out before crews arrived, but unfortunately two family dogs succumbed to their injuries.

Fire officials said firefighting efforts were affected by the amount of possessions in the home.

The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office has been notified and the cause is under investigation.
