While arson investigators are still examining a fire that gutted an entire apartment this past Tuesday night on the 600 block of Magnolia Avenue, a 44-year-old woman is being treated for smoke inhalation after the flames caused smoke to reach her second-floor apartment. However, she should have at least a small reason to smile, given that firefighters were about to save a pet hamster that was caught up in the fire down below.

Firefighters were called to the apartment at about 10:30pm after flames sparked in the first-floor apartment of a two-story building; the fire was extinguised in about 10 minutes.
