A house south of Findlay was severely damaged in a fire.

The fire at 14771 County Road 75 began a little before 1 p.m. on Monday, sending smoke high into the sky. 

Firefighters from Arlington, Liberty Township, and Southwest Hancock Joint Fire District were among those who responded to the blaze, as well as Appleseed EMS.

We were told the occupants of the house and their dogs were not injured.
