Two dogs die in Saturday morning fire
A babysitter and two children escaped from a fire that engulfed a Youngstown Road home Saturday, but two toy poodles did not make it out alive.
Sheriff’s deputies say a 64-year-old woman was babysitting two children when she plugged in a vacuum cleaner and found the sockets would not work.
The woman said she went into the basement to check the fuses, and when she came back upstairs, she saw smoke.
The woman told the children to get outside and call 911. The children, a boy and a girl, ran to a neighbor’s house to call for help.
The Youngstown and Ransomville fire departments responded to the scene. When sheriff’s deputies arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames, the report said.
The poodles died in the fire and one of the children was treated at the scene for minor breathing problems, the report said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
