Firefighters responded to a house fire in Canyon Country Friday morning, and officials say neighbors helped stop the flames before crews arrived on scene.

Around 11:30 a.m., firefighters received reports of a house fire in the 19000 block of Bruces Place in Canyon Country, said Kaitlyn Aldana, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Units reported seeing smoke from a half mile out as they were responding.

When units arrived on scene to the reported house fire, they located an electrical fire on the side of the home, said Ryan Chapin, a captain with the LACoFD on scene of the incident.

Some fire got into the eves of the house, but did not extend into the attic or living space of the home, chapin said.

The owners of the house were not home at the time of the incident, however their pets were safely rescued by firefighters and were not injured.
