Gilypoo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/104276...oria-house-fire For those that dont like links A 38-year-old woman has died in a house fire in central Victoria after she re-entered the burning building, with police saying she may have been searching for her dog.The Maryborough woman called the fire brigade about midnight (AEDT) on Tuesday and stood outside with a neighbour. The blaze was believed to have been caused by a candle, a police spokeswoman said. "The woman re-entered her burning unit, possibly looking for her dog, she yelled to her neighbour that she would get out through the back door but it appears she was overcome by smoke and collapsed in the laundry," the spokeswoman said. The fire brigade arrived minutes later and dragged the woman from the burning unit. Fire fighters tried to resuscitate her for 30 minutes but she was pronounced dead shortly after the ambulance service arrived. VERY VERY SAD... Nice to hear a story about someone doing a wonderful thing to try help her pet... I wonder if the dog made it out. Condolences to the ladies family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoilt lab lives here Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thats devestating! I was relieved when Sasha was the first thing my brother grabbed when his room was on fire. He grabbed Sash and the 2 cats, shut his door and ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
