As of this writing, there were still elements of the fire that were not out, according to Thomas, and the nearly two dozen firefighters on scene were being challenged by ice buildup.
The lone occupant was alerted about the fire by smoke alarms, and was able to safely exit the structure with his pet, but the individual will be displaced.
