A woman and her dog died Wednesday morning in south Alabama due to injuries sustained in a house fire.

The Mobile Fire and Rescue Department stated that firefighters responded to the residence at about 7:30 a.m. where the woman and a dog were trapped inside.

Police identified the woman as Elizabeth Dixon, 76.

Firefighters were able to rescue the Dixon from the back of the burning home and began treating her.

The dog, however, died due to smoke inhalation.

“Fire medics initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the backyard before rapidly loading the victim and transporting her to an area hospital, where she had a viable pulse upon transferal of care,” MFRD said.

But, according to both the fire department and the Mobile Police Department, the Dixon died from her injuries.

A firefighter was also harmed while at the scene of the fire and treated for burns.

“The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but the scene indicates the fire began accidentally,” the fire department said.
