A Buffalo Township couple’s house along Parker Road was heavily damaged by a fire just before 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1, 2019. Sarah Ehrmentrout and Brett Carson arrived their rented two-story brick home, which is along the 600 block of Parker Road, and found smoke throughout the house, a fire official said.
Sarver Volunteer Fire Department Chief Mike George said their dog died despite Carson’s attempt to break a window to get inside to save it. He was treated at the scene for a hand injury.
George said the fire may have started at the back of the first floor but what started it was not immediately determined. He said the fire is under investigation by a state police fire marshal.
