Firefighters from across the county battled a blaze in the 2000 block of Vass-Carthage Road outside of Carthage on Tuesday night.

The fire was reported around 8:45 p.m., and crews arrived to heavy flames coming from the front of the house.

Seven people lived in the home, four adults and three children. Everyone in the house was able to get out, some of them having to jump out of a window.

At least two animals were killed in the fire.
