PROVO, Utah (AP) — A Provo property that caught fire early Friday is a total loss, but the homeowner and his dog are safe thanks to people who ran inside and woke the man up.
The Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/2a81ar9) Provo and Orem crews fought the blaze for almost three hours.
Provo Fire Department fire marshal Kevin Paxton said a couple of people who noticed the flames ran inside the house to wake up the man who lived there.
He said after five more minutes the outcome would have been much different.
Paxton said the fire was likely electrical and spread from a shed behind the home.
