A Huntsville dispatcher received a call about her house being on fire, Wednesday afternoon.
"You can hear the calls being answered when a 911 call comes in and when the call taker repeated the address, she heard it," said a home owner, Aaron Pearson.
Tama Pearson is a dispatcher and she was working on Wednesday when she received an emergency call. She immediately knew the address. It was her own home. Her husband, Aaron, said they couldn't believe their house was on fire.
"A little bit of disbelief at first. Is it really our house?" said Aaron Pearson.
"It was in full blaze," said a neighbor, Glenn Corbett.
Aaron is a Huntsville firefighter and immediately went to see the damage. He said the fire was already out when he got there, but not before it destroyed his valuable collection of tools.
"I lost my log-splitter, chainsaws, all my woodworking tools, all that was in the garage and they're gone now," said Aaron Pearson.
Neighbors were in shock that this could happen to a couple who gives so much to their community.
