Donations are being collected for a Delaware County family who lost everything in a devastating house fire on Christmas Eve.
Firefighters were called to the 1100 block of Cedar Grove Road in Broomall around 1 a.m. for reports of a house fire.
"The flames were just unbelievable, and it was above the roof and there were embers flying everywhere, and it was bad," Clare Coladonato, a neighbor, told FOX 29. A woman, her four children and a friend managed to escape the inferno safely. They were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries. "The flames would go down and they'd squirt more water on it, and then all of a sudden it would start again," Mary Patti said. "It was hours that they were working on that, they did a great job.""You just have to cherish every day because you don’t know in a minute your entire life can change," Coladonato said.
