LEVITTOWN 
 When a fire broke out in Timothy Argento’s Levittown home early Friday morning, it was smoke alarms and his barking dog that awakened his wife -- and the children -- allowing them to escape the house without serious injuries. 
 Nassau County police said the wife and three children suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to a hospital for medical attention. A 20-year-old firefighter from the Levittown Fire Department suffered a dislocated knee.
