Woman Credits Smoke Detector With Saving Her & Her Daughter

A Hampton woman credits a smoke detector with saving the life of her and her daughter after a weekend blaze.
 

Sue Hansen tells CHSJ News the smoke detector went off just after 1am Sunday morning alerting to smoke in her basement at 414 Hall Road.

She tells us when the smoke alarm woke her up she went down and opened the door to her basement and the smoke just about knocked her over.

While the cause is still undetermined, Hansen says they think it has something to do with the wood stove in the basement.      Hansen and her daughter were unharmed and are staying with family.
