News » Firefighters rescue dog from mobile home fire
Mar. 4, 2010
Town of Menasha firefighters rescued a dog from a burning mobile home this morning.
Police officer Jason Weber says the mobile home in a park in the 800 block of E. Shady Lane was already engulfed in flames when they arrived shortly before 1:30 a.m.
The owner, a 57-year-old woman, was outside. She told firefighters her smoke alarm woke her up, and she was able to escape through her bedroom window.
Weber says her dog was still inside, so firefighters went into the burning building and found the animal hiding under a bed. He says the dog is OK, which made a bad situation a little better for the woman.
Weber says a working smoke alarm prevented a real tragedy this morning.
The mobile home was a complete loss. Investigators haven't pinpointed the cause yet. |
