I wanted to to share what happened to a family that means a lot to me and this tragic story.

On Sunday Jan. 22nd a family of three had a fire that broke out in their home. Shortly after 2:30pm, the breaker box in the living room sparked and sent out smoke. Three people live in that house and one of them was at work. At that time of the fire, there were two people in the house and she seen it happen and went upstairs to wake her son up. They tried to put out the fire as best as they could, but the fire was spreading very fast through the walls beyond their control. There wasn't any good insulation in the walls so it was more hollow, which made it worse. My friend that woke up only left with his glasses, a shirt, and what he was wearing when he was asleep. They only recovered the laptop quickly and got out of the house. In 10 minutes the house was consumed with smoke and fire and fell down under 30 mins. Despite the delay of the fire department, nothing could of saved that house do to the age and the inside of the walls. They couldn't have insurance because of how old the house was.


I'm just glad this didn't happen at night. Their lives could of been lost. They are all safe and ok, that is the main thing. Such an unfortunate thing to happen and to lose the house and possessions. Barely anything was recoverable after the fire. Some of the pets were saved and one of them recovered well from smoke inhalation. I've listed a short video that I recorded from the camera to be viewed. I'm reaching out in hope of anyone that can give any support to help them big or small. Whether it is cards, gifted, anything to help this troubled family to rebuild their lives. I wish from this community that there are many hero's that could show their support to them.
Thank You so much. They would appreciate much support from others.
