Waupaca County Sheriff’s Detective John Macodlo said Joyce Tesch was able to escape the fire, but her husband stayed behind in search of the couple’s dog. “The were awakened by the smoke detectors. Joyce got out and Wayne was coming, but didn’t exit completely and went back to look for the dog,” he said.
