FORT WALTON BEACH — Firefighters rescued three dogs Friday afternoon from a burning storage building behind the Circle K store on Racetrack Road.
No one was in the building when the blaze was reported about noon, according to the Ocean City-Wright Fire Department.
Firefighters pried open the door and were able to get two of the three dogs out immediately, Battalion Chief Scott Funchess said. A third dog was found later and also rescued.
The fire likely started from a table saw that had been left plugged in, Battalion Chief Robert Hall said.
Damage to the building and contents was estimated at $5,000, according to firefighters.
