Community support for house fire

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- The family who lost their house to a fire last night, is asking for help from the community.

Assistant Fire Chief Doug Hobson said the home on the 100 block of Elmore Street was a complete loss. He said the fire started in the laundry room by a dryer. One of the residences said they lost everything in it.

“It sucks, it does. We lost everything. All my clothes are in there. I lost everything,” said Pratt.

Pratt says American Red Cross, as well as the community, has been helping him and his family gets through this difficult time. He says there were 3 adults and 6 children inside the house and everyone made it out safe including the dogs. He says he’s thankful for all the community support already.

“There’s been all kinds of people coming, bringing stuff in. Just help the kids out for school clothes and stuff like that,” said Pratt.
