GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - A Gulfport family is without a home after narrowly escaping a Friday morning fire that authorities say was intentionally started by a Gulfport woman.
The fire on Searle Avenue destroyed the home early Friday morning, however, it could have killed the family inside if it werenât for their hero dog, Sofie.
âWe were asleep. Our dog woke us up,â said resident Bonnie Nichole McKey. âWe came out, opened the door to our bedroom and smoke just hit us in the face.

Wing Commander David Forbes
Never one to turn down a challenge, Wing Commander David Forbes has pledged to walk an additional 150 miles to raise much-needed funds for the Mayor of Rochdale’s charity appeal.
The Rochdale veteran, 81, has been walking several miles each morning since March 2020, after battling a chest infection and cold around Christmas 2019, and has been using his early morning exercise as an opportunity to raise money for charities, which have missed out on so much during the year of the pandemic.
Mr Forbes, the president of the British Legion in Rochdale, is now aiming to raise £2,000 for the Mayor’s charity, which is supporting Rochdale Springhill Hospice, Parkinson’s UK, Rochdale Shopmobility, Leukaemia UK, Rochdale Veterans, Rochdale Heartbeat and many other local charities.
