Angola Fire

Flames early Fri­day morn­ing destroyed a home and vehi­cle in Steuben County about 15 min­utes from Angola.

Four peo­ple who were in the home at the time the fire broke out, were all able to escape safely.

Stephanie Hol­loway and her hus­band, Jason, along with their two chil­dren, 2 year old Hunter and 8 month-old Hous­ton all made it out to safety. Their three dogs how­ever, died in the fire.

The call came in for the blaze on Metz Road around 3 a.m Fri­day.

Fire­fight­ers say the large, two-story farm­house was fully engulfed in flames when they got there.

The Red Cross is help­ing the fam­ily, who had been rent­ing the house, which was built in 1913, for about two years.

Any­one who would like to help the Hol­loway fam­ily can con­tact the Amer­i­can Red Cross at (260) 484‑9336.
