The other people in the home helped William Hamm and his pet bird to safety. One person had to be taken to a hospital. It's not known how badly they were hurt.
When firefighters arrived around 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, there was heavy fire coming from the windows on the upper story. The power line to the house had come loose, and was sparking, creating a danger for firefighters.
It took about 45 minutes for crews to bring the fire under control. Investigators are trying to figure out what caused the fire.
