On Monday afternoon at approximately 12:48 p.m. the Salina Fire Department responded to a house fire in the the 600 Block of S. Ninth Street in Salina.
Upon arrival, crews found heavy fire on the first floor and extending to the second floor. Fire crews began a fire attack and searched the structure.
According to a post made on Facebook by Salina Fire, all of the occupants in the home were out of the house and accounted for when Salina Fire arrived.
The occupant's home was deemed a total loss according to Salina Fire.
A GoFundMe page has been established to help raise money for the family affected by the house fire.
According to the GoFundMe page, the occupants of the home did not have insurance and are "starting over."
"On October 30th, 2023, my son David and his family lost their home to a devastating fire," reads the GoFundMe Post created by Allan Baker. "It is a total loss and they did not have any insurance so they are starting over. They got out with the clothes on their backs. They need help starting over from the ground up. From finding a place to live and to clothes for the children and themselves."
Salina Fire Marshall Joe Kvacik told Salina Post on Thursday that the investigation to discover what caused the fire was inconclusive. Kvacik said there were too many different environmental factors present to determine one singular cause for the fire.
