A west suburban family dog beat smoke detectors to the punch in alerting its owners to a house fire that caused $ 30,000 in damage early Friday morning, officials said.
The blaze broke out on the 1200 block of Richfield Court in Woodridge just after 4 a.m., according to a release from the darien-woodridge fire protection district. Fire crews who arrived about four minutes of the 9-1-1 call found the homeowner using a garden hose to try to control the flames on the outside of the home.
Firefighters put out the flames and searched parts of a front room and a window area for hidden fire. Everyone inside the home got out safely and there were no injuries to neither the residents nor firefighters, Deputy Chief Steven P. Gorsky said.
Gorsky said that the home did have working smoke detectors and a fire alarm, but neither went off until after fire crews arrived on the scene. Since the fire was on the outside of the home, Gorsky said, not enough smoke had traveled inside the home to trigger the alarms.
According to the homeowner, Gorsky said, the dog went into their bedroom and started barking to warn them of the fire.
The home is habitable and the residents were able to return after about 90 minutes, Gorsky said. The cause is being investigated but officials are focusing on 12 volt landscape light transformer.

And you’re such an idiot…
than then than then your you yours worlds weirds.
No one said it about your dog. People who don’t train their dog properly end up with a dog that bites and is then untrainable. Also, nobody on earth has a dog that ‘would never turn aggressive’, the potential is in every last one of them.
Yeah bro this site is just sending out comletely free Pink Apple iPad 3’s for today only.
But you have to be fill out your address but it is all real, I claimed my one a few minutes ago. Better hurry up! UPAD3.COM
Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.
I like at 1:45 dog sleep in bath!
People must learn how to educate their pets. I think there’s no problem they “resist” to the bath… But it’s a problem when they show agression or even FIGHT with the owner because that means the dog feels that is in the same “degree”(alfa). Those TV shows about dog trainers who change the behaviour of dogs misbehaving are very interesting. You don’t need to BEAT your dog or use violence, you need to educate him. And that is achieved with simple procedures of dominance.
I totally agree. Because this is a simple thing… But imagine you have a visitor and your dog gets hostile with that person in particular and you can’t control him… That’s an example of the need of control!
