EAST MCKEESPORT (KDKA) - Firefighters were dispatched to Lea's Floral Shop in East McKeesport just before 12:30 on Saturday.

The fire began in the shop and spread to one apartment.

The owner tells KDKA a neighbor had alerted them to the fire.

According to firefighters, everyone inside of the shop and the apartment were able to get out safely but unfortunately, a cat died.

"We were able to get a quick knock, get our truck set up here, the crews did a great job and it was just impeccable timing with everyone," said Deputy Fire Chief Anthony Swidorsky of the United Volunteer Fire Department.
