A WISCONSIN couple says fire
clucks, not fire trucks, helped them escape a blaze at their home.
Alma Centre Fire Chief Jeff Gaede says
the couple was sleeping when their pet chicken woke them at about 6:15am local
time on Thursday. He says the smoke alarms didn't go off when the fire started
in the attic of their attached garage. He says the chicken and a cat also
escaped, but another cat died. Neighbor Brad Krueger told WEAU-TV that he
raised the chicken on his farm until dogs chased it away. The couple then
started caring for it. Mr Gaede says he's heard of dogs and cats alerting
people to fires but he was amazed to hear about the chicken. The fire destroyed
the house. The cause is still being investigated.
