Clay fire victims find community Christmas spirit endures
Pam Gardner and Steven Lasham and their six children lost their Clay home at 4330 Wetzel Road to a space heater fire. The fire displaced them, but neighbors and local groups supplied shelter, clothing, food, and furniture. A Salina motel and a Clay apartment complex provided temporary housing. Gardner's church and Morgan Road Elementary PTO organized aid. The family, including a 10 month old and five other children, escaped uninjured along with three cats. The community’s support reinforced their faith that they will be alright.
