Longtime Lower Valley family needs help after losing everything in fire

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A Lower Valley family is dealing with the loss of their longtime home and their possessions after a fire on Saturday, Jan. 28.

The fire happened along the 900 block of Duskin Dr. Firefighters quickly put out the flames and fortunately no one was injured in the blaze.

The home, where the Wilson family has lived for more than 60 years, is totaled with substantial fire, smoke and water damage.

Dale Wilson, whose mother and sister still live there, said the family first moved in there in 1961.

“So there is a lot of memories there,” he said.

Many of their possessions, like his father’s burial flag, are irreplaceable, he said.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with expenses.
