Firefighters scrambled to the scene about 6:30 p.m. Thursday and arrived to find the house in Aurora at 17 West 6th Av. N. fully engulfed in flames, said a statement from the East Range Police Department.
A neighbor alerted emergency personnel that a man and three dogs lived in the home, the statement continued.
Once firefighters had the blaze knocked down, they located the man and his dogs dead inside, the statement added.
Police identified the man as 70-year-old Mark Edward Weyandt.
Officials have yet to address a possible cause for the fire.
The proposal suggests removing the 20-year protection on the Superior National Forest that President Joe Biden’s administration had ordered in 2023.
