A Go Fund Me page has been set up for the family whose house in Brackendale was destroyed in a fire yesterday.
The page has been set up Rosemary Stager and aims to raise $100,000 for the family.
“This page is set up to help Earl & Rosie George plus her daughter Sasha Nahanee who both lost their homes in a tragic fire early morning of November 26, 2020,” Stager said.
Squamish Fire Rescue attended to a structural fire on the Wiwk’em Reserve, located at the end of Axen Road in Brackendale.
The call came in at 3:45 a.m.
Emergency Support Services volunteers are responding in coordination with the District of Squamish and Squamish Nation, to support the people impacted.
No-one was injured as a result of the fire, and there is no word on cause at this time, said Christina Moore, the district communications manager.
Donald Patrick says
This is tragic especially in this time frame … but why a fund, was there no insurance? Agreed Property Insurance policies do not cover everything, but usually, the building, contents, and additional living expenses are the basic covers …. ? There have been many insured that have spent the better part of a year in temporary housing while the home is being rebuilt at the cost of the primary home policy. I only question because it seems normal these days to start up a ‘gofundme’ on speculation, especially at a time when money is at a premium.
