Texas Deputy’s House Destroyed by Storm and Fire

A Harris County (Texas) Sheriff’s deputy was on duty Thursday when deadly storms rolled through the area and brought a tree smashing it into his home and then the house caught fire.

Deputy Agustine Arellano told KHOU the fire spread quickly with flames taking over the entire home. Luckily, the family made it out alive, but they lost everything.

"The youngest one, the 6-year-old, he didn't even have time to grab shoes or anything so they left with what they were wearing," Arellano said.

Left with nothing, the family turned to the community for help. They created this GoFundMe account to help them recover.

First Responders Children's Foundation stepped in, too.

"We're a national organization with a mission to support children on first responders through our program, our emergency hardship grants," said CEO and President of First Responders Children's Foundation, Jillian Crane.
