Fire ruins Tornado family's home     A family of eight is homeless today after fire destroyed their six-bedroom home in Tornado. No one was home when firefighters arrived about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday. Firefighters were initially able to contain the fire to just three bedrooms, but because the nearest fire hydrant was a mile away, they were not able to save the house at 139 Buckner Rd. Firefighters had to fill tanker trucks from the fire hydrant and transport water to the house, firefighter Thomas Gillistie said. Dwight and Tammy Holsopple had just left for an errand with their six children, ranging from ages 5 to 18, when they received a call from a neighbor who told them their house was on fire. The couple said they had been gone for fewer than 30 minutes. "When we got there, they had it contained to three rooms," Tammy Holsopple said. "But they kept running out of water and it kept spreading to other rooms." Dwight Holsopple, 51, said the family built the house several years ago, but because of financial constraints, hadn't finished exterior siding. "We don't have a penny worth of insurance, so we really don't know what we're going to do," Holsopple said. "It was pretty much finished. We had one room to go. "The Holsopples' oldest son, Dwight Jr., 18, was taking the loss the hardest. "He said ‘Dad, everything I've worked for is gone,' " the elder Holsopple said.   "I told him these things are here in life for us to use," he added. "We come with nothing and we leave with nothing. These are just objects to be used in life. Those things can be replaced and life goes on." The family lost numerous pets, including a cocker spaniel, ferret, turtle and hamster. A dog and a cat that were outside were saved.  Holsopple said while he has not spoken to firefighters about the cause of the blaze, he suspects it might not be an accident. He said last week, he discovered an oil-soaked rag inside the home and no one in the family knew where it came from. Firefighters said they were still investigating the cause of the fire. The American Red Cross of Central West Virginia is trying to assist the Holsopples and has temporarily placed them at the Sleep Inn Motel in Cross Lanes. David Hoge, emergency services director, expects it may be difficult to find the family a more permanent home. "This is a very difficult situation," Hoge said. "They were living in a very tenuous situation to begin with. But to find a place for eight people to live in is not an easy task." Tammy Holsopple, 39, said they do not live close to any other family members. "It's going to be hard to put up eight people," she said. "We don't have nowhere to go. They're going to keep us here until Saturday and then I don't know what we'll do."
