Stefan Lessard and his son were lucky to escape a six-alarm fire that destroyed their home this morning. The house is heavily damaged -- total loss is presumed -- despite the response from every last fire company in the county. It's thought that the fire began on the front porch around 7:30am. Firefighters were only able to save Stefan's Chevrolet Chevelle. from the garage. The 3,200 square foot house, built in 2001, had been assessed for tax purposes at $820,000. Stefan purchased it four years ago.
