A Missoula family was able to escape a house fire on Fairview Street, after a smoke alarm woke him. He got his family out, but some pets perished in the blaze.
Missoula Rural Firefighters responded to a house fire at about 7:30 Tuesday night across from Community Medical Center, just blocks from the main fire station on South Avenue.
For the second time this month, I was scrambling to get out of my third story apartment in a panic. Both my neighbors and myself are dealing with an electrical malfunction (which seems unlikely, given that we reside in a brand new complex), or we have a derelict on our hands who finds it humorous to pull a highly illegal stunt - such as pulling our fire alarm.
