What was supposed to be a blissful evening turned into a night of horror for one local family who awoke Saturday night to find their home up in flames. An Oct. 7 house fire in Dawson County displaced a recently engaged couple and their young daughter and brought out a heroic act of bravery from a neighbor. According to Dawson County Emergency Services Director Lanier Swafford, emergency personnel responded at 10:20 p.m. to a house fire at 188 April Trace off Crane Road.
