JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- A family of 10 was left homeless after their van burst into flames.

It happened Thursday night at a gas station off I-10 at Cassat Avenue.

The family was moving from Jacksonville to Georgia. They had just bought the van three days ago. Alicia Haller and her husband were just married an hour before it happened. They have 8 children. The youngest will be 9 months old on Friday.

The family lost pretty much everything they own. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue stepped in to help. The Jacksonville Firefighters Charity paid to put the family up for the night at the Hilton Garden Inn. The family is just grateful they still have each other.

8 KIDS??? This is a product of good old LBJ's so called "Great Society"!! I know most of you aren't old enough to remember that. I even remember when you could somewhat trust the media in this country. Man, I'm getting old, because that was a long time ago.

Not sure they should be having ten children if they just lost everything they had when the van burned up. Guess who's been paying for the children and the two popping out kids like there isn't no tomorrow!!! Hope they make it to Georgia
