9-year-old girl helps save family for house fire in Rose Hill

A 9-year-old girl is credited with helping to save her family from a house fire in Rose Hill this morning.

It happened around 4:30 this morning near Rose Hill Road and Silknitter.  The girl woke up, smelled smoke, and immediately alerted her family.

Crews from the Rose Hill Fire Department, Douglass Fire Department, Andover Fire Department, and Sedgwick County Fire Department arrived on scene and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the home.

The fire is believed to have started in the basement and traveled up through a heating chase, all the way up into the attic.  The cause is still being determined and a damage estimate wasn’t provided.

A dog managed to escape with the family, but firefighters were still searching for two other pets.  The Red Cross was called to the scene to assist the family.
