OREM — A dog died early Monday in a house fire in Orem, firefighters said.

The homeowner at 840 S. Main was doing some overnight renovations when the fire sparked from machinery at about 4:11 a.m., said Orem Assistant Fire Chief Shaun Hirst.

The fire spread to the attic space of the home.

Firefighters were able to get the dog out of the house but it was too late and the dog died from smoke inhalation, Hirst said.

The fire caused an estimated $30,000 to $40,000 in damage, according to Hirst.
