Modesto Fire says, around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, crews arrived to battle a fire along the 700 block of N. Yosemite Avenue and found a two-story, multi-unit townhome on fire. A second alarm was called and crews from Ceres and Stanislaus Consolidated Fire responded to help.

It appears an exterior fire extended into one of the townhome units. Firefighters worked quickly and kept the fire from spreading from that unit.

No residents were injured in the fire, but firefighters did find one dog dead.

Two people in total have been displaced, Modesto Fire says.
