MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Two firefighters were hurt and several pets were killed in a Mooresville house fire early Thursday, officials said. A person of interest has been interviewed.
Multiple fire departments responded to a fire at a home on Indian Springs Drive, which is just off Cornelius Road, a little before 5 a.m. When crews arrived, they found a home engulfed in flames with heavy smoke. Firefighters worked to put out the fire and searched the home for anyone who might've been trapped inside.
Mooresville Fire-Rescue confirmed that no one was home at the time of the fire, but several pets inside the house didn't survive. One firefighter was treated on the scene and another was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Iredell County Fire Marshal with assistance from the Iredell County Sheriff's Office and Mooresville Fire Marshal's Office. No further details were provided about the person of interest or the investigation itself.
