“It’s something really indescribable to see everything that you had just gone,” said Adrienne Lewis. “I left this morning to go to church and thought I’d come home and everything will be alright.”
Sadly, Adrienne Lewis returned to a destroyed home and the death of her 2 cats.
Folcroft Fire Chief Angelo Zangare said 7 families are now displaced after their homes went up in flames just before 3 p.m. on the 1100 block of Taylor Drive. Three other homes are without power until Monday.
“Not even just my home, but to know so many other people have lost everything too. It’s just a lot,” said Lewis.
“It’s just devastation for people who lived in the homes, especially around the holidays,” said Zangare.
Firefighters said there were heavy flames in the back of the row homes. A viewer captured video of the decks fully engulfed as thick, black smoke billowed into the sky.
Robin Rudisill, who is a father of 4, woke up from a nap when he heard loud banging at his door to warn him his deck was on fire.
