VIDEO: Carl Jarrell, owner of Jarrell’s Backwoods Towing in Naoma, Raleigh County, is sharing details about the horrific fire that burned his small business to the ground on Monday.
Jarrell tells WVVA that he and a few of his employees were in the shop portion of the business around 8:30 Monday morning when they heard strange noises coming from the connected garage.
“We were in the store sitting, and they just heard a poppin’ noise, and they thought somebody was over in the garage working, but there was nobody over there, and when they went over to open the door. That’s when they say the flames shoot out and it was just already out of control...the only [thing] we had time to do was get a couple keys off the counter and call 911.”
Within a matter of hours, Jarrell’s Backwoods Towing was a pile of rubble.
