House Fire

Please pray for my brother, his wife, five kids and my mom(my mom is visiting with them in Indiana). My brother's house caught on fire tonight and they have lost a lot, but thankfully and most importantly all made it out safely. Your prays are appreciated.
Love,
Lisa

UPDATE:
*3 firemen were taken to the hospital: 2 for smoke and heat, one from a beam falling on him.

*The Chief Fireman told my brother that he would lose the whole house. However, hours later he returned to my brother telling him that a lot of people must of been praying for you all... They still have some of the exterior left. The upstairs is pretty much destroyed and the downstairs is pretty gutted and water damaged. They are still investigating the cause of the fire. They think, but are unsure at this time that the fire was started in the girls room due to a light left on that fell over and started to burn clothing or faulty wiring. the firemen said that it was a good thing no one was sleeping in the room. They may of not made it out. That was the room my mom and 4 children would have been sleeping in that night. I am still unsure of all the facts... I am sure I will know more later. I will update later if anything new or something changes....
PRAISE BE TO THE LORD ALL ARE SAFE.... my mom called me this morning and I guess she is going to be bring 4 out of the 5 children back with her.......

Hey, got some clothes for the little guy and possibly the older girls. I'll get them together when I get home tomorrow, and bring them Wednesday to church. Would that work???

Keeping them all in my prayers!
