ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany family has a warning for people using space heaters. They were asleep Friday night when a space heater caught their house on fire and destroyed everything they owned.
Joanna Jackson and her husband Shermane Turner didn't have central heat in their home at 500 West Gordon Avenue.
They were using a space heater now burned almost beyond recognition to warm. JoAnna awoke around 4:00AM and saw flames. They immediately got their three girls, ages 1, 2, and 3, out of bed and out of the house.
Now, they have little but each other. JoAnna said, "Cut them off before you go to bed because that's something that we didn't do. We left our space heater on while we were sleeping."
The family desperately needs clothing and furniture. They have applied for emergency housing. If you would like to help, you can call the family at 229-431-0916.
