A dramatic scene occurred in Sandy Springs at the crack of dawn on Thursday as fire engines hurried to put out a raging fire that had consumed a home on the 600 block of Widgeon Lane NW. As they battled to get to the roaring fires in the attic, the firemen faced an overwhelming challenge from the persistent inferno.
The homeowners’ quick thinking and efforts saved their family from the devastating fire. All four of them made it out of the house unharmed. Fortunately, no injuries were recorded, highlighting how crucial it is to be well-prepared and think quickly when faced with a scenario as serious as this.
The Sandy Springs Fire Department’s division chief, Jesse Bernard, described the difficult job his personnel had in putting out the fire. They were unable to successfully put out the fire and stop it from spreading throughout the house due to the complicated roofing materials and the design of the roof system.
The house took a beating from the fire and water as the flames continued to devour it and leave a path of destruction behind them. The ruined house was a sobering reminder of the devastation that fire can do; the formerly peaceful neighborhood was now in utter disarray.
As a result of the unanticipated tragedy, the evacuee family had to cope with disorder and uncertainty in the aftermath of the fire. As the four-person family faced the daunting challenge of starting over from the very beginning following the catastrophic disaster, they reached out to the American Red Cross for assistance.
