The incident occurred on Lake Road around 6:14 p.m. when a fire broke out on the first floor. Fortunately, everyone who was inside the house managed to escape unharmed, according to the Levant Fire Department.
Although the firefighters were able to bring most of the fire under control within 20 minutes, the house has suffered irreparable damage. Sadly, nothing can be salvaged from the wreckage, as stated by the fire department.
The homeowner is a father of four and the sole provider for three teenagers. His daughter has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to help the family during this challenging time. They are currently grappling with the uncertainty of their next steps and how to manage Christmas.
Losing a home to a fire is always a tragic event, but losing it just before Christmas is especially heart-wrenching, as noted by the fire department. The American Red Cross is stepping in to provide assistance to the affected family.
