Firefighters battled a blaze at a home on Beckley Road for about an hour as a Ford Blazer exploded into flames and damaged the house.

A neighbor, Shamro, said occupants woke when flames struck and that water could not reach from a distant hydrant. Approximately 30 firefighters assisted, with a cat treated for smoke inhalation by Princeton Rescue Squad and taken to a local veterinarian.
