Investigators believe a Westfield house fire was started by a gas grill that was left on at the rear of the residence on April 12.

The Westfield Fire Dept. responded to a residence fire at 416 Sonhatsett Dr. Crews were able to minimize damage by quickly attacking the fire. Residents were home at the time and the family’s German Shepard, Zeus, awoke the family.

“Thanks to Zeus the family made it out safely along with their other pet,” Fire Chief Joe Lyons stated.

The fire is estimated to have caused $70,000 in damages. Lyons said the fire has displaced the residents.
