A home in Westchester was damaged in an extra-alarm fire early Friday.
The fire started around 2:45 a.m. at a home on the 11200 block of Wildridge Street.
When firefighters arrived, a man who was in the home already had escaped the fire, but there were heavy flames on the second floor, threatening to spread to a neighboring house.
“I saw fire trucks and police cars coming down Wolf Road, and I smelled a bunch of smoke, and it smelled like a bonfire. So I decided to turn around, and I followed the trucks to see where they were going, and I saw flames bursting out of the top of the house,” neighbor Mike Pagloiuco said.
