| Shanna Hayes' home was damaged by a serious fire on Monday, Feb. 10. |
By Jessie Eden
The community is making strides to come together for a local family affected by a house fire earlier this week.
The fire broke out on Monday, February 10, around 8:30 a.m. Thankfully, Shanna Hayes and her two boys, her father and little brother and sister escaped unharmed. But - the house is destroyed... leaving this family of six displaced.
Unfortunately, the family also lost some beloved pets in the fire. The house will need to be renovated before the family can move back in and it is unclear how much it will cost.
