MySaline has been speaking with a relative of the family whose house burned on Bland Loop Wednesday evening. All five family members were able to get out of the home, but 2 dogs perished, and the mom is in the hospital. The parents are Dallas and Debra Womack. Debra reportedly suffered smoke inhalation in attempting to retrieve the pets. There are three children, two girls ages 13 and 12, and a boy age 10. This family lost everything and they ask that you keep them in your prayers. There is a GoFundMe fundraiser page that has been set up by the grandmother of one of the children.
