A woman and her three dogs escaped unharmed overnight when their house caught fire in Pinebluff. She and her dogs fled safely to a neighbor’s house.
Emergency crews responded to the 300 block of W. New England Avenue around 1:30 Saturday morning. A Pinebluff Police Officer was the first to arrive and reported smoke coming out the front door of the residence.
When the first firefighter entered the structure, smoke detectors could be heard sounding from within the residence. Within a few short minutes, smoke was billowing from the eaves of the home. Fire crews worked diligently to fight the blaze in single digit temperatures.
