MOUNT DORA - The home of former City Council member Fay Brooks-Williams, who is running for the at-large seat on the council this fall, was destroyed in a fire this morning, fire officials said.

Brooks-Williams was taken to Florida Hospital Waterman in Tavares after suffering from smoke inhalation, officials said. A neighbor had carried her out of the burning home, according to authorities.

"We heard that she is going to be all right," fire Chief Ronnie Snowberger said.
