The Red Cross assisted five adults, three children and three dogs when a fire blazed through a Gloversville residence on Friday morning.
The home at 34 Bloomingdale Ave. caught fire at about 11:41 a.m. Friday.
The Gloversville Fire Dept. said in a statement that the three-alarm fire ripped through the first floor and the attic of the one-family house, and the home is uninhabitable due to smoke and water damage.
A firefighter sustained a minor injury but remained on the scene. One dog died in the fire.
The children are aged 10, 12 and 15.
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
