Any idea who owns the house?
I sure hope if there were pets and people inside the structure that they have found their way out and will be ok. It does sound like the structure is going to be a total loss. How very sad.
I am truly, so very sorry for the people involved in the fire I hope everybody was safe and all of the pets got ok and I’m very sorry lost your house
Having been through a fire, I remember the fear. I really hope that the community pulls together for you.
This is my friends home and we’ve been friends for 55 years. I’m devastated for her.
So am I. Just heard who the owner was, known her and her brother for years. So sad to lose a family home like that.
Did she work at the high school??🙏🏼❤️
Shay, I am so very sorry that your longtime friend has lost her home. I hope she did not receive any injuries.
