The family and pets got out safely and were staying with neighbors, Cunningham said.

Firefighters fought the blaze into the early morning hours Friday with backup from the Delavan, Clinton, Elkhorn, Sharon, Turtle and Sharon fire departments, Cunningham said. Cunningham said the house is likely a total loss.
