As the children began to panic, Clare called 911 and told them they were trapped in the house. It was then that Clare knew she would have to do something drastic.Clare and her children took refuge in her son Joshua‘s bedroom. She tried to open the window, but the house was so old that it would not stay open. Instead, she shattered the glass.
Clare’s daughter Allana suffered the most. Along with post-traumatic stress disorder , she had a compression fracture and burst fracture in her back. Clare’s family has moved into their newly constructed home as of mid-September, nearly a year since the fire. It was built on the foundation of the old one.
