Fire fund established for Army guardsman


A fund has been set up at Hancock Bank to help an Army National guardsman replace his home, personal belongings and household furnishing lost during a fire this week in Hancock County.

Randy Ladner just barely made it out of his family home on Firetower Road before flames killed his cat, according to reporter Al Showers at Biloxi's V-13 www.wlox.com. Ironically, the feline had alerted Ladner to the blaze.

The guardsman is a member of the 155th Infantry Battlion, which is about to be deployed overseas. This will be the second deployment for Ladner.

According to the news report, the guardsman lost everything in the early morning blaze, including his uniforms.

Donations may be made to the Randy Ladner Fire Fund at any branch of Hancock Bank.
