RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) – Five people escaped a house fire on New Year’s Day in Racine that started because of unattended candles.
Authorities say they were called to a two family home near Grange Ave. and 17th St. shortly before noon on Tuesday.
An elderly woman and her adult son escaped from the first floor while a young couple got to safety from the second floor with their 2-year-old son.
No one was hurt and firefighters also rescued a bearded dragon that was in the home.
The fire caused around $70,000 in damage to the structure of the building. All five people are displaced and being helped by the Red Cross.
