Noticing lights on in the house and unable to get anyone to come to the door, the first responders forced their way in the residence and found a 50-year-old man asleep inside. They helped the man and his dog out of the home. Fire crews contained the fire to one part of the house and believe it started in a chimney. Glencoe is about seven miles west of Arcadia.
