Acting Platoon Chief Gerry O’Neill says they were met with heavy smoke and fire coming from the two-unit home. Firefighters quickly knocked down flames on the exterior of the home, in order to move in and attack the blaze from the inside.
All residents were able to escape the building, however firefighters located a cat in the basement apartment. The animal was quickly reunited with its owner.
