FLETCHER, Okla. — A volunteer firefighter in Comanche County is now facing his own tragedy after a fire Thursday left him, and his wife, without a home.

The man, who works with the Fletcher Fire Department and did not want to be identified by name, watched his home go up in flames Thursday morning. When crews from four fire department arrived at the home on North Drive, flames could be seen coming from the roof. The family was not home when the fire started, so they were not hurt, but two dogs who were inside did not survive.

At this point, the fire marshal has not determined what started the fire. Most of the flames appeared to come from the garage and then spread throughout the attic. Unfortunately, the home, which has been a part of the family for years, is a total loss. But this fire was personal for all of those who were on the scene.
