According to fire crews on scene, the fire that broke out on Puckett Circle in Salem Monday morning has been contained. Crews say the fire started in the teenage son's upstairs bedroom. The teen tells WDBJ7 that he woke up and his pillow was on fire. All three people living in the home were able to get out safely. Crews had to rescue the family's cat. The fire was contained in about 30 minutes. Crews say there is smoke and water damage throughout the rest of the house. There were smoke alarms present in the house but the homeowners are unsure if they were working. Crews from Fort Lewis, Masons Cove, Cave Spring, and Salem are assisting with the fire.
