There was a serious family tragedy that occurred on 2961 S. Madison Street. The family who house it was consist of the mother, father, and there 3 sons. It was a bad house fire, and no one survived. The fire started from there twin boys that were playing with matches doing a challenge they had seen on social media. They were there with the father and 6-year-old brother while the mother was away making runs for the dinner they had planned that night. When she pulled in their drive way all she saw was flames and her house burning she instantly ran in calling 911.

911: Hello 911, what is your emergency?

Her: My house is on fire and my family is inside.

911: Ok calm down ma'am can you tell me your address we are sending the fire department now is any hurt.

Her: 2961 S. Madison Street and idk I just made It here, AAAAAAAH Oh Lord Please No!!!!

(she hangs the phone up)

As she ran in the fire was only the top part of the house and since the twin's room was near the stairs they were stuck up there and she couldn't reach them. She could hear them yelling and screaming so she ran to the kitchen panicking trying to find something to put the fire out. She grabbed a big bucket of water and ran up starting to try and put out the fire, but it was spreading fast around the upstairs of the house. She could see that it had already spread from room to room. The fire department had not arrived yet and there was nothing she could do to help her family.

It took the fire department a good 45 mins after the call to arrive. She wasn't aware how long the fire had been going on, but it took them almost 2 hours to put out. She waited outside watching them do all they can to try and save her family. She starred eyes wide filled with tears while she prayed silently asking God not to take away her family. As she saw them carrying out bodies in bags she dropped to her knees crying and screaming calling out each of their names. One of the officers walked up to her and helped her up turning her away from the scene. He then goes to ask her if she had any other family members he could call. She responded letting him know that both her parents died when she was 10 but she had 1 brother who lives in Atlanta. He had moved there 4 years ago chasing his dream to become a producer which caused them to grow apart.
