A devastating New Years Eve for two Livingston families, who lost their homes in a fire Wednesday night.
“I was able to grab a manila folder with my important paperwork. I was able to grab two totes with the kids’ baby stuff in them,” said Aimee Bartlette. “Those are the only things that survived.”
Bartlette is a Livingston native and an owner of one of the houses that burned down. She says the fire was discovered by her nine-year-old daughter, Kaylee.
“My daughter had left the room to go in the kitchen to charge her phone. She smelled smoke and heard crackling…she came and woke me up,” said
Bartlette. “I opened my front door, and my porch was completely on fire.”
“She was very brave. She acted very quickly. I’m really proud of her,” she added. The fire also engulfed the home of Bartlette’s next door neighbor, Denny Harris.
