Five people and their animals escaped safely after smoke detectors alerted them to a basement fire in their house on North Street early Thursday morning.

Fire crews say neighbors helped the residents escape, with one person jumping from a second story window and suffering a possible leg injury.

The fire was contained to the basement and the house will be liveable in a few days.
