Two people escaped a fire at an Orillia home on Friday morning, but one of them was plucked through a window to safety by a passerby who saw the smoke and used a ladder to reach the individual, according to Fire Chief Michael Clark.
He told Barrie 360 that crews were called to the Crawford Street residence around 5:45 a.m.
Flames were contained to the living room but there was extensive smoke damage throughout the house.
Damage to the residence is about $100,000.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Marshal and the police.
