Who Would Want To Kill Kyla?
posted (November 7, 2016)
And the owner of the house that was set ablaze is also pleading for help. As you heard Kyla Reynolds was inside sleeping with her 2 kids when the fire started. Reynolds came to our studio this afternoon to give her frightening account. She says she is grateful to be alive but she also shudders to think that someone wanted to harm her and her kids. She asked to appear off camera:

Voice of: Kyla Reynolds, Fire Victim
"I was sleeping and then I heard a little crackling sound and when I look under my room door I saw something red. So I said "fire?" cant. I say it must be wiring for the house, but then I searched for my phone on the bed and when I found it I flash it to open the room door. When I opened the room door and I looked outside I saw the sofa under fire. So I ran back in the room to get my son and my daughter. I woke up my daughter and told her "fire" and then afterwards I ran to the door trying to open it. It didn't want to open. And so I ran back in the room and told my daughter to follow me. I went into my room and opened the window. I knocked out a window blinds, the rest didn't want to come out. I started to stomp the window blinds and afterwards two of them managed to come out. So I just dash my son and daughter through the window. By that time the fire was already by the room door. My phone dropped behind the bed, but I wasn't worried about that, because I was afraid the gas tank would burst."

"Literally, I thought I had already die and I yelled out no, this can't be the way for us to die. My daughter got burnt on her right hand. I got a few scrape and scratches from when I jumped through the window. My son got his head slightly burst when he jumped through the window. But better that than we got burned up. It scared me, I don't want to take my kids in that area to live. I was supposed to have a house build on that land. But now I am afraid, because I would want to know who would want to hurt me and my children, because I don't have any problems with anyone for this to happen."

The cost of damages is over $15,000. Reynolds is asking for help for her 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son. You can call her at 633 3796 or 602 6921.
