Cabe Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I can't see which house is on fire from the back of my property. It's not either of the houses directly behind me. And, I can't see anything through all the trees. The amount of smoke has diminished a great deal in just the last 10 mins or so. Link to post Share on other sites

Cabe Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 This photo is from my back deck. The smoke had begun to subside before I took this picture. My husband called because he knows the general area of our house from his job. He could see the smoke. Link to post Share on other sites
raclay Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 This must be the smoke I saw a little while ago while coming back from Kroger on Ridge. I was hoping it wasn't a house fire, but a controlled burn where they are building Ingles. I sure hate to hear of someone losing their home to fire, but with that said it is great that no one was in the home. I hope they didn't have any pets inside either. Sending a prayer to this family when they find out what has happened and hoping that all will be okay for them. If anyone has any info later on about needs for them just let me know, I will see what I have and can give to them. Link to post Share on other sites

gwilli8866 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey guys! This was one of our own's house. It was GRAYCE's HOUSE. We live next door and hubby saw it when he went to the barn and called it in. We were able to get her two little yorkies but we didn't see the cat. It is totally gone! Everyone say a little prayer. She had gone to vote and I finally got someone to get her on her cell phone. She is just devastated as you can imagine. Thankfully, no family members were home. Link to post Share on other sites

LizaJane Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 These are good friends of ours. Their house was filled with antiques that had been passed down for generations. I'm sure she's absolutely devastated. Calling on local families to try and get clothes together for the family. 2 males and one female. Working with a group now to try and get a few things together for them. Their daughter lives close by so I'm sure they will have a place to stay. Link to post Share on other sites
