Community support has poured in for the Birch Bay home that was considered a total loss after it caught on fire earlier this month, while a fundraiser has started for a neighboring mobile home also destroyed by the fire.
A home in the 7500 block of Terrill Drive caught on fire in the afternoon of March 6. High winds pushed the flames to an adjacent home and destroyed it.
The GoFundMe campaign that started for the first home had nearly 60 donations totaling almost $5,000, five times the original goal of $1,000.
Neighbors have now jumped in to help the mobile impacted, owned by Canadians who were across the border during the time of the fire. The GoFundMe campaign has garnered $350 of its $5,000 goal since being organized in the past week. People can make contributions at bit.ly/3tfUpdY.
Whatcom County fire inspector Will Anderson said the fire marshal’s office won’t be able to determine a cause for the fire because of the extent of damage in the first home.
