Shortly before 8 am Sunday, Public Safety arrived to flames rolling from the front porch at a Sharpe Street home. The home was a total loss.
It was reported that the occupants tried to put out the fire before calling 911. No one was injured in the blaze that consumed the home. Decatur County Fire and Rescue and volunteers from several stations were called as the heat took it's toll on the Public Safety Officers.
It was the home of Barbara Myrick since 1989. The home where she raised 7 children and 23 grandchildren is now in ashes.
Surrounded by family, all Ms Myrick could do was watch. She told us that she had no insurance on the home, "It got too expensive to insure" she said, "because the house was so old."
Now with nothing but memories, she will start over. Ms. Myrick has been employed at the hospital for 3 years in the housekeeping department. If you would like to help Ms. Myrick please contact her at 246-2443 or 400-6470.
