A Christmas Day fire has left an Edneyville family homeless and in need of help.
A Christmas Day fire has left an Edneyville family homeless and in need of help.
Gary Moore, his wife, Sabrina, and the couple's three children were not at home when the blaze broke out around 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The fire completely engulfed the singlewide mobile home on Skipper Lane off Pilot Mountain Road in Edneyville, said Edneyville Deputy Fire Chief Mark Reagan.
"The home is gone," he said Monday, adding that the fire's cause has not yet been determined. "It's still under investigation by the Henderson County Fire Marshal."
Offers of help were already coming into the Henderson County American Red Cross office Monday, said Executive Director Mike Williams.
A man called the office and said that he noticed smoke in the trailer park while he was there visiting relatives and went to offer assistance, Williams said.
"When he saw the smoke, he went to the trailer and got the back door open and hollered for people, but no one answered," Williams said. "But there was a little black dog there, so he got the dog out."
The dog ran off, but Williams said the man wanted the family to know that the dog was unharmed by the fire.
The agency put the family up at a local hotel temporarily until other housing arrangements could be made.
The Moores lost everything in the fire, including Christmas presents for the three children, ages, 5, 7 and 11, he said.
"We sent out our disaster response team to provide immediate assistance," Williams said, adding that most likely other local agencies, such as the Salvation Army, will be providing assistance in the days to come.
Offers of help were already coming in the day after the fire, said Reagan.
"Toys for Tots contacted us this morning and expressed interest in replacing the toys," he said. "There's a lot of positive coming out of this already."
The Edneyville Fire Department has set up a collection box where donations may be dropped off at any time, said Fire Chief Robert Griffin. The box is located in the foyer of the fire department at 1 Firehouse Drive (off U.S. 64) in Edneyville.
The fire department is collecting clothes, toys, food and household items for the family. Clothing sizes are 7-8 Misses and 8 1/2 shoe for one of the daughters; 14 girls and 7 1/2 shoe for another daughter; and a child's size 6 with a 13 size shoe for the son. Adult clothing sizes needed are men's pants size 32, shirts size large and shoes size 11 1/2 shoe; and women's pants size 20, shirts size 2XL and shoes size 10.
Firefighters from the Dana, Bat Cave. Gerton and Hendersonville fire departments responded to the fire, along with the Henderson County Rescue Squad, EMS and the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, Reagan said.
