Late Wednesday night, Volunteer Firefighter Jeremy Swanson got the call and hustled over to a house on fire near Conifer.

"When we were pulling up, we saw the garage fully involved and I'll be honest, I was a little scared at first," Swanson said.

Swanson is with Inter-Canyon Fire Protection who responded to help the Elk Creek Fire Department. Swanson and his crew were searching the house for any signs of life. He found one.

"I'm very grateful. This dog means a lot to me," Stone said. "He means a lot to our family."

Great job FF Swanson!
