Arriving firefighters were met with heavy black smoke pouring from the front of the home and flames shooting from the rear of the house. Firefighters battled the blaze, which caused minor smoke and water damage to neighboring homes as well.

His wife was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes for minor smoke inhalation and is in listed good condition.
