(hometownlife.com) – Livonia fire crews had to battle several elements early Saturday morning as they rescued two people from the basement of a burning home.
Keith Bo, the city’s fire marshal, said firefighters were called at about 4 a.m. Saturday to a home in the 15000 block of Green Lane, one block west of Inkster. He said a woman, who was sleeping in the basement, woke up smelling smoke. She then woke up her husband and woke up the other four people sleeping in the house.
She noticed a fire had begun on the porch and got her parents-in-law and her children out of the house, Bo said. She went back inside to help her husband in the basement get out when the fire entered the kitchen and consumed the room in flames, trapping them in the basement.
Bo said crews were notified by dispatch they needed to rescue the two in the basement as well.
