A fire that broke out early on Saturday morning forced an Essex family to leave their house. Just after 7 a.m., Essex Fire & Rescue arrived on the scene on Route 15.
According to officials, the two kids notified their mother when they heard the smoke alarm go off and left the house right away.
Deputy Fire Chief for Essex Fire & Rescue, Phil Noyes, said, “When we arrived on scene, we had a fully involved barge into the house. We struck a second alarm immediately, then a third alarm upon arrival, which brought in five area departments.”
