Last Saturday, the Quincy Fire Department responded to a call at 7 Roselin Avenue.

According to Quincy Fire Capt. Roger Kenivey, it seems like the fire was caused by an electrical issue. The fire department also believes that the fire started in the basement of the home.

Reports confirmed that all of the residents of the house were able to escape. Along with them were their pets: five dogs, two cats, and a turtle.

Although safe from harm, the pets are being treated at the Weymouth due to minor burns and the possibility that they inhaled smoke during the fire.

Andrade says that as their family loses home to fire, this year has officially become a tough one. She said, "This is just the icing on the cake."

The family is displaced

As the family loses their home to fire, they are now expecting to be displaced for at least six months since their home would need repairs.

According to Andrade, most of their belongings were destroyed due to the fire. She said, "We literally have the shirts that are on our backs and not much else."

Luckily, firefighters were able to recover the urn containing the ashes of their dad who died due to coronavirus.

Aside from the belongings that the Andrade family lost due to the fire, they say that the sentimental value of the house is already gone.
