AARONSBURG, CENTRE COUNTY - A husband and wife returned from New Mexico on Wednesday morning to find their home burned to the ground.
John and Chris Foltz moved into the ranch on Penns Valley Rd. since 1977. The couple was vacationing in New Mexico when their home burned to the ground on Monday night.
John grew, bottled and sold peppers out of the home. That business along with his garage, vehicles and pets were all destroyed.
When they returned to see what was left of their home and small business, they kept a positive outlook.
"I'll be alright," John said as he looked at a giant pile of charred rubble where he used to live.
The community has rallied in support of the Foltz family, and they said there's nothing they can do about it now except move forward.
