Aid Patrick: Recover from Fire Tragedy
Donation protected
At about 9:50PM last night, Patrick Harting was doing laundry in the basement when he suddenly heard a breaker pop, which signaled him to run back upstairs to see what outlet went off.
The outlet in question was in his room towards his front door, causing a massive electrical fire that engulfed his entire room. He was able to alert our downstairs neighbors and rescue both Zero and Lilly. Unfortunately, after trying to fight through the fire and smoke 3 times, he wasn't able to get to Beezlebub. We were able to recover his body from under his bed and will be buried at his families cemetery.
His room and the entire kitchen are completely gone, the rest of the house has major smoke and ceiling damage. It does seem like we can recover most of what's left in the house tomorrow, thankfully.
If anyone would like to help with moving any items, I'm sure our downstairs neighbors would really appreciate the help as well.
