VICTORIA, Texas — Robin Rodriguez was just getting off work Sunday when she got the phone call — your house is on fire, her brother told her.

“Everything we own, everything — clothes, IDs, pictures — my son was crying that his brand new shoes were burned,” Rodriguez said, staring at her charred home through the glare of flashing lights.

No one was home at the time of the fire at 8:19 p.m. Her husband, Daniel Rodriguez, and four children, ages 10 months to 9 years old, were on their way to pick Robin Rodriguez up from work.
