A woman and her cat are safe after being rescued Friday morning from their burning condo in Westland.
Patricia Stanton said she was alerted to the fire in her condo building on Spring Valley Drive by a neighbor.
“A neighbor called, I was sleeping, and she said, ‘You got to get out there’s flames coming from your roof and smoldering,’” she said.
Stanton, who has a disability, said she was quickly rescued by firefighters, who also went back in and got her cat, Sadie.
“Everything’s gone, my neighbor’s, too. I just feel so bad for all of us,” Stanton said.
Assistant Westland Fire Chief and Marshal John Adams said the blaze started in one unit but spread to three others because of shared attic space. Adams said the cause of the fire appears to be electrical, but is still being investigated.
No one was hurt.
A fire was also reported at the same condo complex, which is near Wayne and Joy roads, on Thursday.
Any displaced residents are either staying with family or have been put up in other units that were vacant in the complex.
