The cause of a fire in the living room of a Fayetteville home in Tiffany Pines neighborhood was determined accidental, according to the Fayetteville Fire Department.
Crews were called out Saturday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. to 2242 Shaw Road Extension to find smoke coming from the single story home.
It wasn t always this elaborate.
Ann Mathis and her husband, Moses Mathis, just wanted to help the neighborhood kids in Tiffany Pines when this all started in 1990. In their backyard, they collected bikes, dispersing them to those in need.
What started with seventy-five turned into 27,000, she said Saturday, now sitting on a red mobility cart in a warehouse full of volunteers and close to 1,000 more bikes to give away that day. Her organization, the Bicycle Man Community Outreach Project, has given more than 30,000 of Fayetteville s kids a bike since then, according to a news release.
And a pandemic wasn t going to stop the mission this year at least not for long.
