All the things of wedding like tuxedos, marriage license, wedding rings, wedding presents, Maribeth Foster’s dress and other items for Saturday’s wedding ceremonial were in the house.
The fire started from the deck and extends to the balcony. Chase and Dakota Branhorst Two children, marked by the fire, and Ron Smith neighbor was helped to save the house, Maribeth Foster wife of firefighter said.
Smith broke down the doors and went to the house to make it sure that nobody was in, the incredible part was a neighbor was able to put the fire is confirm,” Schaffran said. “They’re very lucky, otherwise it could have got inside and they could have lost everything.”
