Robinette’s house was suddenly on fire, but the preacher did everything he could to get his wife and children outside safely. His cousin Haley McGuire shared the whole story on Facebook.
The 55-year-old man had managed to drag both his wife and six of his eight children out of the burning house through a window. When he saw that his two sons Gideon (17) and Liam (10) were still inside, he did not hesitate for a moment to brave the fire again.

The trio did not survive this. McGuire indicates that they were found lifeless, hand in hand. The house is completely burned down. Mike Comer, a cousin of the family, tells TV station WLBT that they have lost everything. “They need a lot of help. They don’t even have shoes.”
According to TV channel WBNS-TV, the family is now being accommodated in a hotel. It is not yet clear how the house caught fire. This is now being investigated by the local police. They don’t think it was done intentionally. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the survivors.
