“I was in my living room in my recliner and I heard some noise outside yelling and such, and I heard the fire alarm, you know the siren for the fire department, then I heard a police officer with the sirens pull up in front of the house, so that’s when I got up and noticed that the fire was coming out the windows of the building,” said Denise Reed.
