Since the beginning of the year there have been five house fires and one apartment fire in Union Springs and Bullock County. The first house fire was the Hernandez family, who lost everything in an early morning fire on a very cold January morning. They are doing well now and have been able to re-establish a home for their family. They are beyond grateful for the outpour of love they received from the community. A more recent house fire is that of the Williams family.
