Fire Leaves Sparta Residents Homeless

A fire at a Sparta apartment complex leaves at least four people without a place to stay.  The fire call came in at about 2:00 A-M Monday.  Firefighters say two residents were treated for smoke inhalation and a family dog died, but everyone living there managed to get out.  The fire chief says he heard a loud truck horn shortly before the call came in.  He thinks a truck driver saw the fire and honked his horn to warn the people inside.
