Two people were left homeless after a house fire broke out in the Green Hill Community. The flames began around 9:00 pm on Tuesday and with the aid of both the Greenhill Volunteer Fire Department and the Wilmar Fire Department, the flames were extinguished nearly 2 hours later.

There were no reported enjuries, even the family dog whose location was unknown until over an hour after the fire was extinguished escaped without a scratch. Nothing remained for the homeowner, David Bawcom and daughter Brittany but a few charred remnants of what used to be their home. David and Brittany plan to stay with family until plans can be made to replace their home.

A few of the many things that must be replaced: bed sheets, pillows, mattresses, furniture, linens, clothes, and basics such as paper towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies, vacuum cleaner, etc.
