Pets Rescued In Friday Home Fire

 

Trotwood firefighters rescued pets and squelched a fire Friday afternoon in the Salem Village area. Crews from Trotwood and Harrison Township responded to the 1:30pm call to find flames coming from the front corner of the single story home.

Firefighters were able to bring the fire, concentrated in the front corner of the home, under control quickly. The resident alerted rescuers that several pet cats were inside. Dressed in masks and breathing apparatus at least one of the pets was retrieved alive.

A neighbor noticed the smoke and reported the fire. The wood-frame home was recently rebuilt after a fire there three years ago. Investigators will work this afternoon to determine the cause. Damage estimates were not yet available.
