(AP) ORLANDO, Fla.

A hearing-impaired man is crediting his service dog with saving his life from a fire.

Darrin Weeks says his dog Roscoe jumped on the bed Sunday to wake him after a fire broke out in the building of his Orlando duplex.

Weeks ran next door, awoke his neighbor and pulled him out of the fire.

Weeks was not injured in the blaze, although emergency crews treated his neighbor for smoke inhalation.

The fire is under investigation.
