Officials: Barking dogs saved homeowner in Cape May Co. fire
GOSHEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- Officials say barking dogs appear to have saved the life of a homeowner in an early morning fire in Cape May County, New Jersey.
An Action News viewer captured video of the intense flames engulfing the home on the 100 block of Reeds-Beach Road in Goshen, Middle Township.
Firefighters were called to the scene at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Officials say at least one of four dogs inside the residence barked when the fire started and alerted the homeowner.
The fire caused the roof to collapse.

No injuries were reported, but the home appears to be a total loss, officials say.
Fire investigators are working to determine what sparked the blaze.
