NORTH NAPLES — A North Naples family of three and their three dogs are safe after a fire destroyed their garage early Friday morning.
North Naples Fire Rescue was called to the fire at 227 Fairway Circle in Palm River about 3:30 a.m. Upon arrival, flames and heavy smoke were visible from the structure's eaves near the front door, said Capt. Mark J. Bush of North Naples Fire Rescue
Fire crews were notified that family pets were still inside the home. A quick search found two of the three dogs, but the third was found later after the fire was extinguished.
Crews contained the fire inside the garage with no extension into the house even though the fire got into the attic. Despite having the fire under control by about 4 a.m., the garage was deemed a total loss, NBC-2 reports.

Taxes pay the salaries of Firefighters therefore fire fighting is socialism. We need to stop re-distributing our wealth to these government employees sucking on the tete of our taxes. Get rid of taxes and firefighters! Every man for themselves is the best option.

Sad... you didn't get enough attention as a child and now you resort to internet media to fill that void. I hope my acknowledgement of your pathetic life makes your day!

What is wrong with you? I hope you never need help and if you do then they should tell you "every man for themselves" and walk away. You can't possibly be serious!

It's amazing how many readers don't or can't recognize satirical criticism. It just goes to show how a Rush, Hannity or Beck can thrive and exploit the public. And they talk about the "uneducated", right?

Yes I am poking fun at Tea Party "logic" and their hatred for Firefighters and other government employees. Im glad some people get it.
Me, I like Firefighters, my food inspected and the rule of law and Im okay paying my share in taxes.
