Twenty-seven-year-old Kayla Donnay, one of the two people living at the house, noticed the heating in the house went out.

Kayla then contacted 31-year-old Dominic Donnay to ask for help on how to get the furnace working again.

Shortly after contacting Dominic, Kayla saw smoke coming from the vents in the home and she called 911.
