VIDEO: Fire officials have confirmed that a man and a dog perished in a house fire south of Fort Wayne just after midnight early Friday.
Multiple fire departments were called around 12:30 a.m. Friday morning to a home at 10428 Muldoon Road, off Ferguson Road just east of Fort Wayne International Airport. Crews from Southwest Allen County Fire Department, Poe Fire Department, and Air National Guard all responded. When they arrived, they found a home at the end of a long driveway fully engulfed in flames, with fire coming from the windows and roof. The home collapsed shortly after crews got on scene, officials said. Firefighters sprayed the blaze from the ground using hoses. Water had to be supplied by tanker trucks because of the home's location. It took about a half hour to get the fire under control.
