The front room of the Vowers family home was completely overtaken with flames, the fire that started on Monday night took three fire departments working into the morning to completely contain.
A local family is facing both blessings and hardships this holiday season, as they put the pieces back together following a devastating fire to their home.
Tammy Vowers said she was home asleep when the fire that consumed their home started Monday night.
"I really don't know what happened. I was asleep, my son was studying for finals. If he wasn't there, I wouldn't have woken up," Vowers said.
According to Vowers, the fire started in the attic, "the fact that it was in the attic, so the smoke was coming down, I didn't smell anything."
Vowers' daughter was also asleep inside when the fire started.
Lodgepole Fire Chief Wade Dickinson said they received the call at approximately 10:42 p.m. on Monday. Three fire departments were dispatched to the home located outside of Sunol.
