A Clay County mother of three has died after the home she shared with her brother caught fire Saturday afternoon.
The fire broke out around 4 p.m. on Highway 1350 outside of Manchester, killing Amanda Davidson, 26.
“It’s just unbelievable,” said William Bishop, the victim’s brother, who tried to rescue her from the burning home. “I couldn’t do nothing. I ran up the hill, busted the window out and I couldn’t get to her.”

Davidson moved in with her brother about a year ago. A burned out shell is all that’s left of the home they shared.
“She was a good girl. She worked everyday. She loved her kids. She was always there for you. She was a good person to be around,” said Bishop.
Investigators were at the scene throughout the afternoon on Saturday, combing the rubble for clues, trying to figure out what led to such a tragic fire.
“How am I gonna make it? I just, it’s gonna be hard,” said Bishop. “It’s just a tragic loss.”
While investigators have not commented on the cause of the fire, Davidson’s family told LEX 18, it appeared to have started in the home’s air conditioning unit.
