New Bedford couple faces long recovery after fire destroys home

Описание: A New Bedford couple is facing a long road to recovery after a fire destroyed their home and left one of them badly burned two weeks ago.

"I was devastated," said Daniel Mendoza Lopez, who recalls showing up to the scene of the fire and being told his husband had been rushed to the hospital. "In those moments, my world kind of just shut down. I almost shut down. It was a very difficult thing to hear."

The fire started in the early afternoon on Dec. 29 inside his home on Topham Street. Firefighters ran into water supply issues after a hydrant became inoperable, the New Bedford Fire Department said.
