My name is Karl Weiss and I am asking you to help support my Brother and Sister-in-Law as they recover from a devastating fire.

Well before dawn on Saturday morning April 29th, Joe and Claire Weiss had their world turned upside down by an electrical fire in their house in Roxbury, NJ. Thankfully, Joe and Claire are heroes, and their quick actions saved the lives of their family.

A primary electrical line fell off a pole and contacted a nearby secondary line, sending high voltage surging throughout Joe and Claire’s house. Many wires inside the walls caught fire and the electrical panel exploded. As the house quickly filled with smoke, Joe and Claire were able to rescue Andrew, Eleanor, and their two dogs, Ruby and Remmy. A neighbor was able to take Claire and the kids inside while Joe, the dogs, and I watched the team of firefighters work in the pouring rain. Their bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and basement have significant fire damage. Every room had walls torn apart to douse the burning wires inside.

Everything in the house is lost from the thick smoke damage. Please consider supporting their recovery as they navigate this family tragedy.

Thank You,

Karl Weiss
