A family of four is lucky to be alive after their home went up in smoke around 1:00 on Saturday morning. Jeremiah Budna was asleep in the downstairs of the home when he saw flames falling from the ceiling. He raced upstairs to wake his sleeping sister and nieces, aged 4 and 12, and the family managed to escape. Courtney Menzies has this story.
