Smoke detectors alert Burnet family to morning blaze

BURNET — Smoke alarms helped save the lives of a couple and their 18-month-old child when a fire — possibly started by a discarded cigarette — destroyed a manufactured home, officials said.

The episode took place about 3 a.m. Oct. 7 in the 200 block of Burnet Hill Drive after a blaze broke out on the wooden front porch and spread to the rest of the home, fire officials said.

No injuries were reported.
