Just shortly before 1am on Friday July 5th, I was taking my dog out before bed & noticed a small unattended flame in my next door neighbors carport entrance. In the short time it took me to run back inside, put my dog back, and run out to the neighbors front door the carport had become completely engulfed. It soon spread to the entire backside of the house before being extinguished.

Thankfully everyone made it out safely, but the house is a total loss. Any donations big or small would help them tremendously, as they need new clothes, toiletries, food, and pet supplies for their 2 dogs and bird.
