BROOKLIN, Maine (WVII) — A Maine community is coming together for a Brooklin family who suffered devastating losses due to a house fire. The family lost 16 dogs in that fire.
Fire officials say the blaze was challenging and required multiple crews. It started Friday, and again on Saturday, when it flared up again.
One neighbor said her immediate thoughts are on how she can help the family.
“I think that was everyone’s overall consensus. How can we help? It’s really heartwarming to see that side of town especially this time of year,” said Heather Candage, the clerk and tax collector for the town of Brooklin
The fire department has set up a place for online donations, and a family friend started a GoFundMe, which has over 350 donations.
A café in town will also be hosting a community dinner with all the proceeds going toward the family.
