Family Spared But Dog Is Trapped In Fire At Home In Troy
TROY (WWJ) - A family in Troy narrowly escape an early morning fire in their home Sunday.
Firefighters responded to several neighboring calls of a blaze at a home on Trombley Street west of Rochester Road.
The home was engulfed in flames when first-responders arrived. The owners were awakened by the sound of breaking glass and were able to flee the home uninjured, along with three of their four dogs.
A yellow lab was trapped inside and did not survive.
Authorities say the fire appears to have started on the deck outside during the night, possibly from a barbeque grill, and then spread to the home unnoticed.
The fire remains under investigation.
