LEBANON, Ind. – Flames shot from the roof of a Lebanon home after a fire broke out early Wednesday morning.
The Lebanon Fire Department was dispatched around 5 a.m. to the 1400 block of Citation Circle West. There, firefighters encountered smoke and flames coming from the roof of a home.
The homeowner was out of state. However, three relatives were staying at the home when the fire broke out, including the homeowner’s daughter. All managed to get out safely through the back door.
“If you hear the 911 call, I was in a panic and I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t get out of the house,” recalled Kierra McClaine. “I’ve never been a fire before. Never been in a situation like this before. And this is our childhood home we’ve lived here 30 years. So everything–pictures of my grandparents who have passed–everything is in that house. And literally everything.”
The Lebanon Fire Department is still piecing together what led to Wednesday morning’s fire…
