Firefighters from the Orange Volunteer Fire Department extinguished a fire in a house late Monday night. There were no injuries. Firefighters responded to a call for "heavy smoke" in a home on 495 Quintard Lane around 11:45 p.m. Monday night. On arrival, they found visible fire in the living room area of the house, according to Fire Chief Vaughan Dumas. They were able to quickly knock down the fire before it could do extensive damage to the rest of the house. "The occupants were alerted by the smoke detector," said Dumas. "They called 9-1-1 and exited the building under their own power. There were no injuries." Dumas said the incident underscores the importance of smoke detectors in homes. The device alerted the home occupants early enough that they were able to get out of the house and call the Fire Department without injury and before the fire made too much headway.
