Wife Of A Local Serviceman Picks Up The Pieces After House Fire

A local woman is dealing with a setback after flames destroyed her home in Smithton, Westmoreland County.

Everyone made it out safely, but the home is a total loss.

Corey Dally's husband is in the Army National Guard. She delivered the bad news to him over the phone. "I said I guess you heard, and he said heard what. I said about the house and he said no, and I said well our house is burned down," she said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
