Barking dog saves SA woman from fire

MAN'S best friend has been credited with saving a South Australian woman from being seriously injured in a house fire.

The dog started barking when a blaze erupted in the Hillbank home, north of Adelaide, on Saturday and alerted the woman to the growing danger, a Metropolitan Fire Service spokesman said.

"(It) may well have been instrumental in sparing this resident from more serous injury," he said.

The woman managed to escape the blaze with minor burns to her arms and needed to be taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.

The fire is believed to have started in the garage when a lit cigarette accidentally came into contact with a rolled up synthetic lawn.

The roof and ceiling collapsed before fire crews could put out the blaze, causing about $250,000 in damages.
