PitBull Saves FLA Teen
FORT MEYERS, Fla. -- A recently adopted pit bull whose barking alerted a sleeping 17-year-old may have saved her from a house fire.
Chato had just been brought to the home a couple weeks ago after he wondered onto a construction site in Lehigh. By the time firefighters arrived at the house, Jerrica Seals, who had been sleeping, was safely outside.
A deputy fire chief says the blaze appears to have been caused by a bad extension cord on a window air conditioner.
