According to Jerry Huff, Fire and Safety Chief, the two- level home was “completely and fully involved” upon the crew’s arrival. “We made a real good attempt to stop the fire,” but to no avail. The only “family member” home at the time of the fire was the family’s dog. Huff said the dog came out of the flaming house “on fire. We extin guished the dog and made arrangements with a vet to take care of him. Apparently, he’s doing all right.” There were no other injuries. Cause of the fire has not been positively determined, said Huff. However, “from all reports... it was a portable heater. It will be difficult to determine because of all the rubble.” The Hisatakes lost every thing in the fire.
