West Chester fire: Students and residents displaced; dog rescued by firefighters
WEST CHESTER TWP. — There was some confusion following an apartment fire Monday afternoon in West Chester over reports that some dogs had died in the blaze, the assistant fire chief said “all dogs survived.”
Assistant Fire Chief Randy Hanifen told the Journal-News there were some mistaken reports that some dogs died in the blaze that broke out at 3:15 p.m. Monday in the Union Station apartments.
“The true story is all dogs survived,” Hanifen said. “The dog that was there we left him in his cage because he seemed much happier until the homeowner came to get him. He was happy and stable where he was so we just left him alone. He didn’t seem overly happy with us being there.”
