Oxford Family Runs to Safety After House Fire: Report
Quick work by Oxford firefighters limited the damage, while the three occupants who were present during the fire were also credited too.
A fire broke out inside a 51 Oakwood Drive house in Oxford around 10:30 p.m. Monday and three people were inside.
As the flames ignited, the occupants were able to close a door to where the fire started, which prevented it from spreading, and it allowed them time to run from the house safely, the Republican-American reports.
Oxford fire crews were able to quickly extinguish the blaze and contained it to one room, but for now the family of four is displaced until the damaged house can be repaired, the Rep-Am reports.
