According to Chief Spokesperson for MCFRS Pete Piringer, smoke alarms alerted the residents, allowing them to safely evacuate, and the fire was quickly extinguished. No injuries were reported, but at least one family is likely displaced, and approximately 50 firefighters were on the scene. A cat believed to have escaped was seen on the counter.
