A homeowner in Herriman, Utah found his house ablaze in an early morning fire on Friday. Police helped him out of his home as well as his cat, and both walked away relatively unscathed. No one could say the same about the outside of the house, however.
According to ABC4 Utah, the fire was reported to emergency services just before 7 a.m. on Friday at a home near 12700 South Bellagio Way. The man told the dispatcher he was having difficulty getting out of his home when he called in the emergency. A Herriman Police Department officer was the first to arrive on the scene to help him do just that.
The officer helped the homeowner get away from the flames without incident. By the time Unified Fire Authority crews arrived, the three-car garage was already heavy with smoke and flames, as was the RV. But at least the man and his companion didn’t have to worry about injuries…
