CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Five people were treated for smoke inhalation after an early morning fire at a home on Southeast Santa Barbara Place and Southeast 7th Street.

Three people and two dogs were inside the home at the time of the fire. One of the dogs has been reunited with its owners while the other was given oxygen by fire crews and taken to the vet.
