 Firefighters were called to the house on East Ocean View just before 10 a.m. yesterday. Sailor Jalen Carter says he saw the flames coming from the home and kicked open the front door to make sure no one was home. He then went to the rear of the structure and helped the pig escape from the fire. Norfolk Animal Control officials say Merlot the pig had a few burns, but should be okay. No one else was home.
