None injured, pets saved after early-morning fire in Grand Chute house
None were injured and two family pets were saved after a Grand Chute house caught fire early Sunday morning.
The occupants of the two-story house on Starview Drive are displaced, however, according to a news release from the Grand Chute Fire Department.
Fire crews were dispatched around 1 a.m. Sunday, arriving to find heavy fire in the house's attached garage and roof areas. The house's occupants had already left by the time crews arrived.
Firefighters were able to knock down the blaze and head inside to extinguish the fire, which had reached the attic. They rescued two family pets from a first-floor bedroom.
