Henderson Fire Department crews were called about 9:40 p.m. to a house at 2346 Dolphin Court, near Pecos Road and Windmill Parkway. The fire was extinguished at about 10 p.m.

The fire began as an electrical fire in the master bedroom closet, the city said.

A firefighter was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion, the city said. He has since been released.

Firefighters rescued two pets: a dog and a tortoise, the city said.

No residents of the home were injured.
