“I was asleep up in my bedroom and my dog started barking and woke me up. My room was filled with smoke and I ran, and we jumped off of my porch roof. I toss him out onto the porch, and we both jumped off,” Knerr said.
Fire officials said crews had to truck water to the scene because of a bad fire hydrant.
The house is a total loss, officials said.
A fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
