WTOL.com, Toledo's News Leader, News 11 | NEW--Family lost son 1 month ago and their house overnight
Member Center:
CENTRAL TOLEDO (WTOL) - They lost their 13-year-old son and his cousin in an accident on I-280 about one month ago, and last night, the Ramos family lost their house.
Indeed, the fire ripped through several homes on East Central near Brigham.
Firefighters describe it as a huge fireball that quickly got out of control and spread from a vacant house to the house where the Ramos family lived.
"I need some help cause I don't have a house now. I just lost my kid. I was asking for donations for his funeral and now I'm losing my house," Lup Ramos said.
Ramos says her eldest son would help her take care of her other children. "He was like a father for my kids...," she said.
"I think we would have died everybody in there. My kids. We were all sleeping and the flames were all you know you could see the flames already trying to go in there."
Some neighbors said they're furious because they say the fire could have been prevented.
