A Centralia family woke up Saturday morning to their dogs barking and discovered a fire shooting out of an outlet behind an entertainment center.
Centralia City Firemen say the fire was at the Robert Pearson home at 227 North Hickory. Pearson was able to knock down the flames with a dry chemical extinguisher and turn off the main breaker before firemen arrived.
Firemen used an electrical fan to clear the dry chemical dust from the house.
The fire call came in at 6:30 Saturday morning. Firemen were on the scene for about 20 minutes.
