Two saved from flames by barking dog in South LA The Associated Press 04/01/2008LOS ANGELES——An elderly man died in a South Los Angeles house fire but a barking dog woke his brother and sister-in-law in time to escape the flames. Fire spokesman Brian Humphrey says 42 firefighters put out the Monday night blaze in about 20 minutes. A 72-year-old man, whose name hasn't been released by the coroner, was found in a front bedroom of the home. He died shortly after arrival at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood. Humphrey says the man's brother and sister-in-law were asleep in a rear bedroom, but they were awakened by their dog's incessant barking. The couple and their dog weren't hurt. Damage is estimated at $400,000.
