Daniel and Jocelyn are breathing a sigh of relief after their animals were saved from a house fire in September.
Daniel was outside after deep frying wings on the stovetop when he noticed an orange glow inside the house.
“At that point in time, I heard her [Jocelyn] screaming inside the house,” Daniel said. “And there were flames raging out of that pot on the stove.”
Jocelyn was in another room when she heard someone come over their CPI Security System’s two-way speaker.
“Do you need the fire department?” the CPI Central Station operator asked.
“I was absolutely terrified,” Jocelyn said. “Just as soon as I saw the orange and smoke… [I felt] just pure fear.”
Jocelyn was able to escape with one of their dogs, but Daniel was still inside trying to gather the rest of their animals.
“I went back in and looked for them, but the smoke was too thick. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t breathe,” Daniel said.
Luckily, CPI Security dispatched the fire department for them, and firefighters were able to locate and evacuate the rest of their pets before it was too late.
“Saving our animals, that was the only thing that mattered that night,” Jocelyn said. “So, it could have been so much worse, and we definitely feel like CPI made a huge difference.”
CPI Security customers can list how many pets, children, and adults are living in their home so first responders know who to look for in the event of an emergency. For more information on CPI’s 24/7 fire monitoring services click here.
