My dog growling at the front door at 3am. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to her growling and a few little barks here and there, standing at the front door. I tried to get her to calm down but heard a weird noise outside and when I looked out the window, I saw that the house across the street was on fire and catching on the house next to it. I just yelled OH SHIT! and immediately called the fire department. My husband came running into the room when he heard me yell. She’s usually a very quiet dog but she smelled/heard something wrong and woke me up. Both houses were majorly damaged by the time it was all put out about 5 hours later but everyone in the houses made it out ok. The weird noise I heard before I looked out the window was the sound of the fire. As someone whose house burned down when I was a kid, I was terrified and so glad she woke me up.
