Firefighters found one person and two dogs dead inside a Tacoma apartment following a fire there early Wednesday.
Just before 1 a.m., Tacoma Fire crews were dispatched to the apartment building, Tanara Villa apartments, in the 6300 block of North 26th Street after receiving reports of flames erupting.

Once crews arrived, the first-floor unit of the two-story building was full of smoke and flames. Firefighters soon put out the fire while containing it to just the one unit. One person was found dead inside the apartment alongside two pet dogs.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
