Woman rescues cat from burning home
Published: March 16, 2007
She went back into the house because she forgot the cat, her husband said. The problem was that the house was on fire.
About 3:30 p.m. yesterday, a loaf of banana bread caught fire in the oven at 6 Nanuwitt Ln., according to Dave Cummings, who lives there.
The Salisbury Mills Fire Department confirmed that the fire started in the kitchen, but said the exact cause is under investigation.
The kitchen, Cummings said, was “done,” and the bedroom above was damaged as well.
Fire was shooting from the back kitchen windows when firefighters arrived, said Tom Johnson, assistant chief of the Salisbury Mills fire department.
About 20 firefighters from three fire companies knocked down the fire in about 15 minutes, he said.
Cummings said his wife, Jackie, was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and would be OK. Johnson, the fire chief, took the opportunity to stress “people shouldn’t go back into the house.”
Jackie did, however, save the cat, Oreo.
