Early this morning the Swinton family's whole world went up in flames! They lost their home and family dog to a devastating house fire. 

David and Rachel were sound asleep when they were awakened by the cracking sound of their front porch engulfed in flames!! Rachel grabbed the baby and made it outside to safety as David ran downstairs to grab Grandma. Everyone made it out safely but they could not save their family dog, they tried but she must have been hiding and the smoke was so thick they couldn't find her (she used to hide during thunderstorms).

The fire was out of control within a matter of minutes. The fire department showed up to put the fire out but there was no water pressure at the hydrant so they couldn't do a thing but watch as their life burn to the ground, all their memories, all their clothes, toys, their cell phones, credit cards, birth certificates... EVERYTHING but the pajamas they were wearing! Luckily the older son (seen in the photo below) was at a sleep-over with his friends.
