The owner called 911 to report the fire and told the operator she had been able to get out of the home but her cats and dogs were still trapped inside.
The fire department said crews arrived to find flames and smoke spilling out from the house and immediately began an "offensive" attack on the fire.
"Multiple supply lines were laid, and multiple hand lines were deployed into the home to search for victims and extinguish the flames," the fire department said.
Crews were able to save the trapped animals.
"Fire companies were able to locate all pets inside and reunite them safely with their owner," the fire department said.
The owner and her pets were uninjured.
The owner and her pets are being helped by a community assistance program, the fire department said.
