(KMZA)--A woman required hospital treatment following an early Sunday morning fire at a Seneca residence.

According to a release from the Seneca Police Department, the fire occurred around 1:45 at 7 East Amador, where the Seneca Fire and Police Departments responded.

When they arrived, the single-family home was found to be engulfed in flames, but the owner was not home.
However, a woman who was at the residence taking care of a dog suffered burn wounds. The release says Nemaha County EMS was called to a residence in Bern where she had gone after receiving the injuries, and she was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City, Kansas, for treatment.

Her name is not made public.
