Max Jones, 9, (right) sits on the lap of Greg Cogswell, his mother's boyfriend and roommate (left), at the Studio 6 Motel in Winnie on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008. When the family's rental home caught fire on Jan. 31 in Stowell, Max woke up and alerted the family.

Only a burned-out shell of a rental home remains in Stowell. Now, the family can't find a new place to live in the community.
