Town of Erin Fire Chief Jim Sawkins says ‘there’s absolutely no excuse for not having smoke alarms in a home’.
This, after Station No. 10 Erin and Station No. 50 Hillsburgh were dispatched to a structure fire on the 4th Line in the early morning of Monday, March 18th.
Upon arrival, firefighters reported seeing smoke from the rear of the single-family home.
In total seven vehicles and 18 firefighters responded, the family was not home at the time.
A Dog was rescued unconscious, revived by firefighters and then transported to the University of Guelph.
Two felines succumbed of smoke inhalation at the scene.
