Two fires in 2 days across the river in Sarnia are a reminder for Blue Water Area families to check their smoke alarms and battery chargers. Sarnia Fire Rescue says an overheating lithium-ion battery started a fire at a rowhouse on Vidal Street South around 3 a.m. Monday. Working smoke alarms woke all 4 people inside, and they got out safely. The family dog died, even after firefighters carried it out and gave it oxygen. The night before, everyone got out unhurt from a kitchen fire on Devine Street.
