Woman, children inside home when fire breaks out

BRADDOCK HILLS, Pa. — A woman was home with her two children when a fire broke out early Saturday morning in Braddock Hills.

Sharon Smith said smoke detectors at her home on Brinton Road woke her up about 3 a.m., and she hurried to get her two children and their dog.

“My daughter was actually in my bed with me and my son was in the room across the hall. I ran to the kitchen and I just saw the flames in the door and grabbed them and ran out the back,” Smith said.

The family and the dog made it out of the home without injuries.

A fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
