“We unfortunately lost everything in this fire,” Williams wrote. “Years of memories and treasures are gone; however, we still have one another. I am asking for anyone’s help at this point with anything you are capable of.”

No injuries were reported, but the Emmaus fire inspector said both residences were left uninhabitable because of extensive damage.
