Neighbors in Lakeside jumped into action Friday to save a dog from a fast-moving, two-alarm house fire.
Cal Fire and Lakeside Fire crews were called just before 11 a.m. to the fire in the 9100 block of Single Oak Drive. Officials said the fire started in the garage and then spread to the attic and rest of the home.
A neighbor spotted the flames shooting from the home and called 911, as other neighbors ran over to help.
"The first thing I saw was flames coming out their backdoor, and I came out here and there was a bunch of neighbors coming to help out," said neighbor Lucie Lee.
The couple who lives at the home wasn't there, though their small dog, Sassy, was at home. A man rescued her from the backyard as the flames were approaching.
No one was injured, though Sassy the dog was shaken up.
Firefighters said the home and garage were heavily damaged, partly because they sits at the end of a private road, about a quarter mile from the fire hydrant.

The owner said everything inside was completely damaged. He believes some fireplace embers in the garage likely started the fire.
