GRAFTON, Wis. (WBAY) – On Saturday morning, the Grafton Fire Department responded to a blaze at a home on the nook of sixteenth Avenue and Falls Road. Arriving crews discovered the storage engulfed in flames.
Everyone in the home bought out – because of their canine waking them up.
“So the family was all sleeping. They were alerted to their dog barking aggressively, as they said, and alerted them to wake up,” defined Tom Bichanich Deputy Fire Chief, Grafton Fire Department, including: ““There were working smoke detectors in the house, but there hadn’t been enough smoke to get into the house to trigger those alarms.”
Firefighters extinguished the hearth rapidly. Tom Bichanich believes the trigger was malfunctioning batteries from a child’s bike, in response to a report by WISN-TV.
