Police were first on scene reporting smoke coming from the home. Fire units arrived soon after reporting a working fire in an occupied structure. They had smoke coming from the front door and fire in the garage. The fire quickly vented out of the garage and extended up the D-side of the house. It took approximately 30 minutes before the fire was put under control. There were no injuries as the family and their dog made it to safety. Firefighter Patrick McCabe entered the main floor of the home and found the scared dog hiding under the bed in the boy's bedroom.
