Man’s best friend rallies help to Cumberland County fire scene

And sometimes, it’s a barking dog who gets the job done.
That was the case in Silver Spring Township’s Stonecrest development Monday, when a 6-year-old boxer named Toby – who’s being kept by family while his owner is on a military deployment – helped alert Ace Conrad and Jennifer Braddock to an electrical fire at a house across the street.
The incident happened shortly after 10 a.m. Monday, when a problem with the electrical service running to the home of Eric and Kelly King sparked a fire outside their Raspberry Drive home. Because utility lines are buried underground in their neighborhood, flames and smoke were literally shooting out from the ground, next to the King’s garage.
