Family left homeless by fire gets helping hand

January 04, 2014

The Carpentersville Fire Department, a local church and charity have united to support a family of five who lost everything they own in a house fire that began New Year's Eve and burned three hours into the new year. The Herrera family had been vacationing in Mexico at the time and returned home Thursday to find their house destroyed. "They basically come home with nothing," said Bill Wenzloff, president of the St. Vincent De Paul Conference in Carpentersville and a member of St. Monica Catholic Church. "Not everyone enters with new year with the happiness that's associated with this time of year."
