This fire was on my street. Neighbors said the fire started in a guest bedroom near the back of the home. Family had left to go to Walmart to get something for the grandkids when the fire broke out. A neighbor called 911 and then the owner's cell phone to tell them their home was on fire. No cause established yet but insurance rep was at the home before 8pm.
Then a couple of neighbors stepped forward. The first told the homeowners that he and his wife were leaving today for a 10 day trip and told them to move onto their home. A second neighbor said they were leaving on Dec 10 for a month and offered their home for that period which would allow the fire victims to spend the holidays with family here in The Villages. As usual sometimes tragedy sometimes brings out the best in people.
