A Coon Rapids father was warned of a fire in his house Monday--not by the fire alarm, but by the family dog.  Officials say family members got out safely thanks to the dog. The fire was started by a cigarette on the porch, and damages are estimated at $300,000.

Introduction

My name is Hannah Swanson. I'm a junior at Mora High School and this is my first year at Anoka Ramsey. I decided to do an online class because of its convenience aspects. I chose this particular class because it sounded very interesting and something that I wanted to learn more about. In the future I'm thinking about a career in sports broadcasting and I thought that this would help me get a better idea of how it all works. I hope that this class helps my overall writing habits and also teaches me about all the aspects of journalism and how media affects the world.
