Logan Fire Leaves Family of Four Homeless


LOGAN, W.Va. -- A family is now homeless and turning to the community for a helping hand after fierce flames ripped through their home. It happened at the Big Daddy’s Barber Shop on Stratton Street in Logan.

The owner of the business, Jamie Mullins, says while he’s grateful he and his family survived the fire- they now have nothing.

Mullins, his wife and five- and two-year-old sons lived in an apartment above the business.

Mullins said shortly before the fire, the family of four was eating take-out when they noticed the smell of smoke and realized their home was on fire.

No customers were in the store at the time but Jamie said neighbors quickly stepped in to salvage what they could.

The Super Dollar Store, the First Baptist Church and the B&B Loans of Logan will all be accepting donations on behalf of the family.

The Logan Fire Department says the Fire Marshal will be at the barbershop today to investigate the cause.
