LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A Lowndes County family loses everything in a Friday morning house fire.

Howard Cook, his wife Lisa Dunlap and his daughter Brandy Cook were at a granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation when a neighbor spotted the house they rented on Hughes Road on fire about 9:15 a.m. Friday.

The family rushed home and tried to kick in a door to save their two pet dogs and any valuables, but the fire was too hot.

The one-story wood frame and shingle home was quickly fully involved.

The family did not have insurance. They think the cause may have been electrical.
