Members of the Matton family are, from left, Joshua, Barb, David and Briana.Recently our family experienced a house fire. The good deeds by our neighbors and a total stranger prevented the home from being a total loss.
Briana Matton saw the smoke and called her dad, David. David ran to our house and started hosing down the fire. A stranger driving by saw the smoke and stopped. He took a neighbor’s hose and helped water down the fire. (We hope he reads this so he will know how much we appreciated his help since he had left before we arrived home.)
Thanks to the quick response of the wonderful fire departments. They rescued our dog, Baxter, who promptly ran off as soon as he was rescued. Our neighbors, the McBrayers, brought Baxter home.
Thanks to the Red Cross for making arrangements for several days’ accommodations.
We will never forget all these wonderful people for what they did for us and our dog, Baxter.
