Press release - June 20, 2005
(Scottsboro, AL) - Dale and
Robbie Maxwell of New Ground are calling it a true blessing of God. On Sunday
morning, June 19th, Dale and Robbie, along with group member David Owens, had
just returned from a 10 day cruise to Alaska. Trying to get settled back into
their normal routine of being at home Dale smelled something burning. After a
quick run through of the house to see where the smoke was coming from Robbie
found flames were blazing out of the cabinets and beside their dishwasher. Thru
Dale's quick response of retrieving the fire extinguisher off of their bus Dale
was able to keep the fire under control until Fire Fighters could arrive. When
the investigation was complete, an electrical fire had started in that portion
of the kitchen. There is damage to the counter, cabinets and floor area near the
dishwasher and the appliance is a complete loss.
The Fire Investigator told the Maxwell's how lucky they were to have been at
home. He said if the fire had not been caught in its first stages that the house
would have been a total loss.
