Dedham, ME  (WGAN)  The State Fire Marshal’s Office says one man died this morning when fire swept his home on Dedham.

Investigators said the man and his wife escaped the house at mid morning after smoke detectors went off.

The man then reentered the burning house to look for his dog.

His body has been located near a door.

The log cabin house on Privet Road has been gutted by the fire and a team of four Fire Marshal investigators are on scene to attempt to determine how the fire started.

This is the second fatal fire in a week in which  homeowners have died reentering their burning houses to look for lost pets.

On February 4, an Orland man died after he went back into his burning home to look for his dog.
