Home Destroyed by Fire
A home in the Five Points district of Huntsville was destroyed by an early evening fire on Friday.
Emergency crews got the 9-1-1 call around 6:45 p.m. and were on the scene on the 1900 block of Stevens Drive within minutes. The fire took on an added sense of urgency when fire fighters were told a 3 year old girl was unaccounted for. One neighbor who arrived on the scene before fire fighters risked his own life to search the house before flames and smoke turned him back. "I tried to run in the house the first time and I couldn't see anything" said Michael Green. "I tried putting my shirt over my head... and running in and it just felt like my face was melting. I couldn't see anything and she was yelling 'my baby! My baby!'"
After battling the intense flames for about a half hour, the fire was brought under control and fire fighters were able to enter the home and search for possible victims. Fortunately, the house was empty. We later found out that the missing girl was with another family member the entire time, and is safe.
The woman who lived in the home was sent to the hospital as a precaution.
