Cat Saves Family From House Fire
Published 13 Apr. 2006
This cat provided a very welcome wake-up call. Arwin was able to rouse her owner, Jaclyn Lane, about 4 a.m. Wednesday after their house caught fire.
Lane said when she woke up, she looked out her window and saw an orange glow. Lane, her mother and her mother’s boyfriend were able to get out of the house safely, along with their alarm cat.
The fire burned through the back of the house, and into the kitchen and attic before firefighters were able to extinguish it. Northshore Fire spokeswoman Terri Jones said some of the family’s other pets died in the fire.
