Crews arrived on the scene, and after observing heavy smoke, suppressed and contained the fire in the basement. The first floor sustained heavy smoke damage, with total damage estimated at around $400,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fire department is investigating whether there were any working smoke or carbon monoxide alarms in the home at the time of the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone inside the home made it to safety, thanks to an unlikely hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tenants were alerted to the fire by the homeowner\u2019s American Bulldog, Champ,\u201d according to Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Chief, Gary Monahan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cThe Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department would like to remind everyone that while Champ is a hero, only working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are reliable for an early warning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important residents have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas and on every storey of the home. Smoke alarms increase your chance of surviving a fire in your home. Carbon monoxide alarms will make you aware of the presence of the dangerous gas. Test your alarms monthly and know the sound of your carbon monoxide and smoke alarms; they are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your alarm sounds, go outside and call 9-1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/muskoka-equestrian-trainer-loses-everything-in-house-fire\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Muskoka equestrian trainer loses everything in house fire<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 4 am, the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department responded to a report of a basement fire.
