Pregnant mom, her two kids left homeless after house fire in Burlington

Three dogs and five puppies were killed in a house fire.

BURLINGTON, N.C. — A pregnant woman and her two daughters were displaced after their home caught on fire.

The fire started Tuesday afternoon at their home on Basin Creek Road in Burlington. The county fire department received a call about a house fire around 1:43 p.m. 

Fire crews said they saw heavy fire coming from the back of the home when they arrived to the house. 

Due to the age of the home, it was difficult to the let the fire out. It was almost 7:00 p.m. before the area was cleared.

The expectant mother, Christy Diane, and her husband, Patrick Childress, lived with their two daughters, a grandmother, and an aunt at the home that belonged to her grandparents. 

Nobody was inside the house, but their dogs died in the fire.

The family said nothing is salvageable, everything is completely damaged, except the urn of her grandfather's ashes, who died earlier this year. 

The Altamahaw-Ossipee Fire Department has offered to be a drop off point for donations for the family.
