San Pedrito Fire Victims Lost Everything
posted (August 8, 2019)
Several hours later, at around 3 a.m., there was another fire on San Pedro, and in this one, the homeowners lost everything in the blaze.

This 2-story home in the San Pedrito area was being occupied by Casey Bladen and his in-laws. They were sleeping upstairs when the smell of smoke woke them up. He went to check, and that's when he found the lower flat on fire. Bladden and his family then tried to contain the flames, but they could not. After resolving some communication difficulties, this family was finally able to reach the National Fire Service, who put the blaze out, but not before all their belongings went up in smoke.

Bladden told the San Pedro Sun that he is trying to remain positive about the misfortune, and the hope is that he and his family will be able to recover from this disaster as soon as possible.
