MySaline received a report of a fire at a home on North Reynolds Road in Bryant in the early hours of Sunday morning. The exact report from a citizen follows.
“I was headed home from Bryant Wal-Mart around 315am this morning 04/09/2017. When I was stunned by the site of a home on N. Reynolds Rd engulfed in flames. There were no fire trucks, police, or other vehicles in site. I pulled over at Dogwood and called 911. It was already a huge fire. I left as soon as fire trucks arrived so that I wouldn’t some how be in their way. I hope every one got out safe. I tried to snap a few pics as I drove away but I was shaking, so they’re not very good.”
