(NEWCASTLE, Maine (WGAN) A close call for a Newcastle home owner Sunday night.

Stan Brown was home alone when a fire broke out. He’s hard of hearing, but his dog woke him up.

Brown uses hearing aids but they were not in and he was sleeping until his dog came to the bedroom barking up a storm.

Both managed to escape the fire.

No word on what caused the fire.
