Six people and two dogs were displaced Wednesday morning after a two-alarm fire in the French Quarter damaged their house, according to the New Orleans Fire Department.

No injuries were reported.

Firefighters received a 911 call a little after 7:30 a.m. reporting a fire in the 700 block of Burgundy Street. The first crew arrived around 7:44 a.m. and noticed smoke coming from the building’s rear, firefighters said.
