Not even a house fire can slow down this South Carolina minister, who delivered a moment-by-moment report as his house burned down.
“We're standing out in the front yard. Right now it's upstairs. I hope it doesn't get downstairs,” the Piedmont homeowner, Reverend Sammy Smith, says in the Facebook livestream video.
