MOUNTAINBURG, Ark. — A small puppy managed to escape a dangerous house fire early Friday morning near Mountainburg.
Dispatchers with The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office say a house fire sparked around 3:30 a.m. at a home on Highway 71 North near Lake Fort Smith. District 3 Assistant Fire Chief Daniel Hopwood said crews discovered a young dog hiding under the deck of the home.
“One of our firefighters found, what looks like a young dog, probably a puppy that was underneath the porch the entire time. He’d been there when the fire was at its hottest and looked to be okay. A little scared, but looked like he’s gonna be fine,” said Hopwood.
