    Three escape massive fire in a home on Walnut Street in Kanawha County

72 year old Harritte Williams was distraught when large limbs from her old pine tree blew down over her fence and right onto her neighbors garage.

She lives in the home her husband built back in the 1940's in Institute, WV. She suffers from some painful orthopedic conditions and from a respiratory condition which makes it difficult for her to breath.

She called our Don Hammond hoping he could remove the fallen tree and he said "Let Don do it".

Don is pretty proficient with a chain saw and cut the wood up in about two hours Friday morning before work.

Harriette is happy and we are sure her neighbors are too. However, we know there are thousands more out there who could use the same kind of help.
