A residence at 316 E. B St. was extensively damaged by fire Wednesday afternoon.

Jenks Fire Chief Gary Friedel said firefighters were called to the scene at approximately 3:40 p.m.

"There were flames showing from the back side of the house out the second floor window" when the crews arrived, Friedel said.

"Initial crews made an aggressive interior attack because they weren't sure if someone was inside," he said.

No one was at home at the time but a cat was located, rescued and taken to a local veterinary clinic for treatment, Friedel said.

The fire was brought under control and extinguished "relatively quickly," he said.

Despite the extensive damage to the structure, "there were still plenty of personal items (inside) that were not damaged," Friedel said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
