SHAWNEE, Kan. - A passerby alerted two Shawnee residents to a house fire at 10525 W. 57th Street early Saturday morning.
Firefighters reported heavy fire when they arrived at the home about 3:00 Saturday morning.
Two adult residents were able to escape without injury.
Shawnee firefighters rescued one cat from the home, but one dog did perish in the fire.

Fire officials say thanks to the passerby who alerted the residents, because there were no working smoke detectors in the home.
