Four people are safe after being awakened by barking dogs after a fire early Sunday morning at a duplex on the lower west side.
Platoon Chief Eric Garland says the fire began in the rear of the older wood-frame duplex at 158 Winslow Street which caused extensive damage.
Canadian Red Cross disaster volunteers arranged emergency lodging, food and other help for those who live in the building. The two women have three dogs and five cats.
City Police believe arson to be the cause.
Early this morning, a car was engulfed in flames at the corner of Millidge Avenue and Somerset Street.
