‘Losing their home to fire is certainly a tragic experience for the family’, stated Fire Marshal Dennis Mathisen. However, this story could have had a truly tragic ending had the homeowners not properly maintained their smoke detector. ‘Since they had a working smoke detector, a woman’s life was saved today’, Mathisen continued. The Roseville Fire Department encourages everyone to make sure they have at least one working smoke detector in their home.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
