A mobile home owned by James
Edward Allison at 1265 Lowery Road NE was heavily damaged by
fire and smoke Sunday night. No one was at home when the
fire broke out but a puppy in the home was killed by the fire.
Allison's sons, James Elbert and Barry Edward Allison who lived
in the mobile home, were next door at their parent's home when
the fire began.
Allison, who fought the fire with
a fire extinguisher until Arab Fire Rescue units arrived, said a
front window had already broken from the fire and heavy smoke
and flames were coming from the window when they discovered the
fire.
Allison said he had given the
puppy to his sons a couple of weeks ago after their cat had
died. "I was trying to help heal their hurt and now they
have lost the puppy too." Allison said that he had some
insurance on the mobile home.
