Fire Destroys Home

A fire at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, September 22 destroyed the home and contents of John and Paula Hill. The house was located on Winston County Road 3434 (Kinlock Road), just across from the entrance to the Bankhead Forest north of Rabbit Town.

Several family members were staying in the house at the time of the fire. All escaped injury by ducking under the flames as they fled the burning house. Saturday afternoon, members of the family, friends, and neighbors were busy removing the debris and trying to find anything such as photos which could be saved.

The Pebble Fire Department, aided by the Haleyville Fire Department, arrived quickly and were on the scene until daylight. The house was a total loss. The cause of the fire is unknown.
