Noreen Lucas had been asleep in her bed when the fire broke out.  She had been sick with pneumonia, and didn’t awaken right away.  Thankfully, Rex was nearby and got her out of bed.

“I was so comatose so when Rex woke me up, dragging me, I knew there was something wrong,” Lucas said.

When the dog pulled her into the hallway, she could see that the walls were engulfed in flames.  The house was becoming a massive inferno very quickly.  After taking a minute to realize what was going on, she got herself up off the floor and went to help the rest of the animal family members that were also in the house.

Lucas and Rex managed to get everyone out of the burning house alive, and uninjured.  There was another dog, and two cats in the home as well at the time.

The community has also come to the family’s rescue.  They put together donations, food and other things to help them in their time of need.  The family is very grateful for the help, but are really just glad no one was injured or worse.

An employee of the water department was working near a home on East Shady Lane.  He noticed that a dog without a leash on had wandered near him, and looked to be seeking some attention.

When the employee went to check on the dog’s tags to see where the dog was from he noticed the house wasn’t far.  The dog lead the man to his house, which was on fire.

The worker surmised that the dog had jumped out the window, and was looking to get help.  It was a good thing too, because in just a short time, both dogs would have been overcome by the smoke.

The water department employee was able to get into the burning house, and rescue the other dog in there.  Emergency services were called, and the fire was brought under control.  The owners of the home were not there at the time of the incident, and no one was hurt in the fire.
