'why are you saying this?' And he said 'No our house is on fire' and I started immediately 'Where is Lilly?' "Where is Lilly our daughter?' Their 13-year-old was inside the house when the fire started shut the door to this room that belonged to her uncle The Kents say the cause of the fire was an electrical malfunction and that the fire started in the attic and then went into the room of Christy's brother “It was quite a scene and not something you expect to see on a random Friday afternoon.” “It took several hours to put out the fire and roughly 40,000 gallons of water Now the Kents are just happy that they're able to celebrate Christmas together “We’ve been through a lot so I’m hoping that Christmas can be joyful napping whatever just try to recoup a little bit from the last week-and-a-half.” The family started a GoFundMe and the community has already started the giving spirit Their goal is almost met with 75% being covered "You know we see a lot of division in society it’s been a major coming together of people to support a family while they're going through tragedy."
