He was walking to his car when he saw smoke.
Bragg called the fire department.
Firefighters told Bragg that his two dogs that were inside the home had died.
Dan’s sister, Kim, told News Center 7 that the dogs belonged to her.
The house originally belonged to their father, and she said it is devastating to lose all the memories attached to it.
“This house is a memory,” Kim said. “It’s been in the family for over 46 years.”
We are working to speak to fire officials and will update as we learn new information.
