Alissa Rutledge was in the hospital being treated for phenomena. Her husband was out of town tending to a death in the family. Meanwhile on Friday morning February 26th,the couple’s residency at 823 Endgate Pass was being consumed by fire. They lost everything they owned, except for Alissa’s car, which was parked in a detached garage and some items in a shed.
No official cause of the fire has been determined but State Fire Marshals are conducting an investigation. Alissa was not made aware that she had lost her home until after she was released from the hospital on Friday morning. “I am not even sure what is really going on right now. Nobody contacted me and I haven’t been told anything. I want to know what happened and what I’m supposed to do but I’m still recovering from phenomena and nobody knows anything about the fire,” Alissa explained, her tired voice attempting to drown out the congestion.
The Bibb County Chapter of the American Red Cross was notified and provided Alissa a three nights stay at a hotel and a voucher to purchase her children some clothes. “The Red Cross has helped me but that’s all the help we are getting right now,” she explained. If you would like to help Alissa and her children please contact your local Red Cross by calling local Executive Director Mary Kinard (205) 987-2792.

"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."
