CHICAGO -- A far west suburban firefighter and paramedic who was found dead in her home died as a result of an attack by one of her own dogs, the Kane County sheriff’s office said Wednesday. Dawn Brown, 44, of the 400 block of Jefferson Street in Big Rock, was found dead by her husband at the bottom of the stairs in her home Monday afternoon. The paramedics who responded were her co-workers. "It's just heartbreaking," said neighbor Mark Hake. "We would see them walking their dogs through town. [They were] very nice people." Brown and her husband had three dogs: a mastiff, boxer and pit bull mix breed. It was the 140-pound mastiff who attacked her, officials said. It's not known what provoked the animal to attack, but Kane County Animal Control now has all three dogs in their custody.
