Two Kennewick families are displaced after an early morning fire destroyed their homes.
Action News was on scene and talked to a resident who said she feels lucky to be alive.
"They just kept barking and I looked out the window and all I saw was orange,” Romelia Sanchez-Noyola said. “Then I ran outside and I saw fire."
Around 3 a.m., Sanchez-Noyola said her dogs woke her up. She was met with flames right outside her bedroom window.
Terrified, she rushed to call 911, and her husband ran outside to see what was happening.
"Romey! Get the dogs! We need to get out of the house, the house caught on fire!" her husband called out to her.
