ARLINGTON, Wash. — A family dog in Arlington alerted her
owners to a nearby fire early Friday morning allowing them
to quickly call 911 for help.

Just after 3 a.m. Friday, North County Fire/EMS and Arlington
police officers were sent to a structure fire in the 17900 block
of 31st Drive NE. A detached shop next to a residence had
caught on fire, according to the Arlington Police Department. 

While the structure was burning, a neighboring dog named
‘Lucy’ barked, alerting her owners to the fire. They were able
to call the fire department and help their neighbors quickly
extinguish the fire, the APD said.

First responders arrived and helped put out the flames and
ensure it did not spread to anything else on the property. The
APD praised ‘Lucy’, the neighboring pup, for her help.
