A Waynesboro family sadly lost their home and all its contents after a fire broke out just before 8:00 p.m. on Friday night, June 24.
Family members stated that a minor child living at the residence belonging to David “Shorty” Horner and Shonda Blalock on Mumaw Road in the Beech Creek community first smelled smoke and then observed flames in the rear of the home at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Friday. The whole family was at home when the fire broke out, but everyone was able to escape without injury. Unfortunately, the home and all the family’s belongings were a total loss with the exception of the clothes they were wearing.
The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation. A GoFundMe page has been set up for donations for the family, or those wishing to help may call Kara Turnbow at 731-267-7067 for more information.
