It was a scary moment for a local fire chief when he found himself fighting a fire inside his own home early this morning. Several fire departments responded to the house fire on State Road 104 in La Porte County. No one was hurt, but the home is a total loss. We spoke to the fire chief for the Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Department. He says even though he deals with this kind of thing all the time, it’s not a position he's ever been in before. It was around 2 a.m. central time. Kevin Bluhm and wife were fast asleep when their dog Harley started barking and smoke alarms started going off. Suddenly awake and seeing flames inside the house, Bluhm made sure his wife and pets got out before jumping into action as the Pleasant Township Fire Chief.
