WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) Maine firefighters are being credited with saving a pet rat along with cats and lizards from a Waterville house fire in which seven people escaped through a window.
The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office was still investigating the Monday morning fire, which destroyed the house. WCSH-TV reports residents were climbing out a rear window to escape when fire crews arrived.
The cause of the fire had yet to be determined, and a parked car nearby was also damaged.
Firefighters say there was a lot of fire in an enclosed porch that extended into the home.
