Alabaster firefighters are rallying around one of their own after he and his family lost all of their belongings to the very thing he spends his days fighting. In June, Billy Gibbs' Montevallo home flooded. While they were waiting for repairs to get underway, they were staying at his wife's parents' lake house.
On Sunday, fire ripped through the house, destroying everything they had brought with them including their truck and car, which were parked outside. Gibbs, his wife Cindy who is a nurse and their three sons were able to escape unharmed.
In a Facebook post early Monday, Gibbs described the events of the day as "one of the best worst days of our lives."
He explained that following the June flood, the family moved everything that was important to them to the lake house. On Sunday, the family went out about 5 a.m. to fish. After returning home to eat breakfast, they showed and napped so they could go back out fishing later.
