City of Greensboro Fire Department issued the following announcement on Dec. 29.
“Greensboro, North Carolina, firefighters surprised a family of five who lost “everything” in a Wednesday house fire with $2,500 in Walmart gift cards, according to a local report.”
“We felt in the Christmas spirit to get everybody in the battalion to participate in a fundraising for the family, and…we’ve done the best we could with that,” Greensboro Fire Department Captain Ken Lilly said in a video that Cockman posted in the Facebook group.
Lilly said a mother, father and their three children — ages 3, 4 and 12 — lost everything in the fire, including their dog and Christmas gifts purchased in August. The father had broken his foot on the same day the fire destroyed their home on Greenbriar Road.
