A Family Is Safe After A Duplex Fire

Five people are safe after an early morning fire at a Pocatello duplex Wednesday. Authorities say a complete stranger pounded on the burning home’s door for nearly fifteen minutes before everyone woke up. Dispatchers received a call about the blaze shortly before 5 a.m. There is no word yet about what might have caused the fire, and officials say the smoke detectors inside the home were not working. The family is working with the American Red Cross to make sure their needs are taken care of. Though the family was able to make it out safely, authorities say two pets, a rabbit and a rat, died from smoke inhalation.
