Christmas Eve Fire Threatens Parker Family Home
A fire on Christmas Eve destroyed a Parkersburg residence, though Michael Dianne and their neighbors survived with little more than fear. Firefighters responded as the blaze began near a well heater, trapping no one inside. The Parker family escaped via a bedroom window and later retrieved a vehicle from the garage before the home burned. Neighbor Herschel Fulmer offered temporary lodging, and locals supplied essentials as insurance covered the structure but not the family’s personal possessions.
