HAMBLEN COUNTY, Tenn. — Volunteer firefighters in Hamblen County are asking for donations to help three young kids who lost everything in a house fire Tuesday morning.
The East Hamblen County Volunteer Fire Department said crews responded to a fire that totally consumed a home early in the morning, saying three young children lived there.
The kids were not in the home at the time of the fire, but the VFD said it destroyed everything inside the home -- including their Christmas gifts.
Now, the VFD is asking for help to replace some of the things the kids lost. People that want to help can head to a dropoff location at the Hamblen County Sheriff's Office at 510 Allison Street in Morristown during normal business hours. The VFD said its station doors at 295 Luther Proffitt Road will also be open until 5 p.m. Tuesday for any dropoffs.
Here's what the VFD said the kids could use right now:
