"We were laying down in the house when my wife said there's a wife," Shawn Wolverton said. "It started on the deck. I don't know how it started but it spread fast." Shawn Wolverton, his wife Hope and their daughter were able to get out of the house safely. "I just grabbed the hose right away and tried to put the fire out," Shawn said. "It really was pointless. The water from the hose didn't stop it at all." Trapped inside the house were three of the Wolverton's four dogs, Rock See, Pumpkin and Kia. "It's pronounced Roxy but she liked it better with the word rock in it," Hope Wolverton said. "She's a golden doodle and helped us find Red." Red is the dog that was not involved in the fire. "Red usually sleeps outside until about 10 p.m.," Shawn said. "Then he wakes up and finds his way to the doggy door and comes in the house."
