Firefighters work to extinguish a fire that occurred Monday night on East Oak Street in Natchez. Sandra Johnson had been living in the home since her children were little. “I lost everything,” Johnson said, “I cant put it into any more words, I need help.” Johnson was not at home when the fire occurred but received a call from a neighbor that her home was on fire. She said when she arrived she saw blazes of fire and smoke. (Nicole Hester | The Natchez Democrat)
