HUBBARD TWP., Ohio - In spite of efforts of firefighters from Ohio and Pennsylvania, a three-alarm house fire in Hubbard Township is being called a total loss.

Crews were first called out to the 2800 block of Applegate Road at around 7:50 a.m. Tuesday after owners called 911 to report that they had evacuated the home after a fire broke out in an attached garage which is under a portion of the home's living quarters.

The woman living there tells firefighters she woke up to the smell of smoke.

She and her daughter escaped safely along with a dog and a pig.

A second alarm was called within ten minutes as firefighters from other departments were sent to the scene.

One hour after the fire was first reported more fire departments were called.

A third alarm brought firefighters from Coitsville, as well as departments from Pennsylvania to provide additional manpower.
