VIDEO: The Dearborn Heights Fire Department rushed to help a family pet and put out a fire on Friday after an explosion rocked a neighborhood.
Firefighters were called to the area of Pelham Street between Annapolis and I-94 in Dearborn Heights after the explosion. Several firefighters rushed to the home and video from SkyFOX showed them fighting flames. The home was leveled with little remaining of the structure as firefighters put out flames. Nobody was home at the time and no injuries were reported but firefighters pulled a family pet from the remains.
Neighbors, like Savannah Gonzalez, reported hearing the explosion.
"We were sitting on the couch, and we heard the big boom, crash thing," she said. "We thought it was a tree that fell on the house or it sounded like a car had ran into our neighbor’s house."
But it was actually a house fire two doors down from Gonzalez and Kailee Martin's home.
