A local girl is credited with saving the lives of her parents and siblings and her father is credited with saving the life of his wife’s 90-year-old grandmother Sunday after a fire broke out in a bathroom on the first floor of the family’s home.
Jonathan and Nancy Seavey of Winter Street were awakened at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday by their 14-year-old daughter, Jen Seavey, who heard the hardwired fire alarms sound off in the 2½-story house.
After the couple woke their two other children, Nancy Seavey guided the children down the stairs and called 911 while Jonathan Seavey ran downstairs to wake Nancy Seavey’s grandmother, Margaret Libby, 90, who was in a first floor bedroom. Libby had recently been discharged from a local nursing home.

The cause of the fire was attributed to a Waterpik used in oral health care that had been plugged in by the elderly woman. The electrical device, which had not been used in years, malfunctioned, Guyotte said.
