DALLAS — The Hunt County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a retired Dallas firefighter who went missing under suspicious circumstances.

Michael Chambers, 70, talked to his wife on the phone at about 8 a.m. Friday and has not been heard from since, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. Deputies searched his home in the Quinlan area after his family reported him missing Friday night. Authorities said they found evidence that shows he may be in danger.

Chambers, who usually wears a Dallas Fire-Rescue T-shirt and ball cap, often spent time in a workshop on his property in the 7000 block of Farm-to-Market Road 2101, according to the Greenville Herald-Banner.
