Community / More than £11,000 raised by community after devastating house fire
A FUNDRAISER has been launched to help two people who lost their home and belongings in a fire.
More than £11,000 has already been raised for Ruby and Willie Brown from Gunnister.
The fire took hold of their home in Northmavine on Thursday morning.
Appliances from Brae and Hillswick were called out at 7.20am to find the house “well alight”. The occupants of the house were accounted for.
The fundraiser said: “We would like to try and raise some funds for them in the hopes it could relieve just a small amount of the stress they are going through.
“Thank you to everyone who has called with well wishes this afternoon.”
