Late Saturday evening, August 30, a fire broke out in a residence in Greenville, leaving the house in ashes and the family who lived there homeless.
The Greenville Volunteer Fire Department arrived first on the scene, aided by Hamburg/Lovett’s Volunteer Fire Department and the Sirmans Volunteer Fire Department, their efforts were in vain.
“The house was completely engulfed in flames by the time our team arrived,” Madison Firefighter Dwight Vickers said.
Ronnie and Sandy Lee and their two sons, including one who is quadriplegic, were not at home at the time of the fire, which was sparked by some faulty light fixtures.
The rescue teams battled the blaze for approximately an hour-and-a-half before the structure was completely burned, leaving nothing but sand and ash behind. The family that once lived there is now forced to start from the ground up as well.
The family lost everything in the fire.
