GoFundMe Established For Warsaw Fire Victims
Staff Report
WARSAW — A GoFundMe account has been established for a Warsaw family who needs assistance after their house caught on fire Tuesday evening.
Courtney Holt, Glen Douthitt, and three children were at the home on 3456 E. 100N when the fire started. In an interview with InkFreeNews, Holt said the residence’s lights went out after she plugged in a flashlight charger. Then, there were extremely loud electrical noises, followed by flames. She said she believes the fire was caused by faulty wiring.
Holt said Douthitt has resided at the home for 14 years. The home, which they had been renovating, is a total loss. Currently, their plan is to demolish the structure and place a trailer on the property.
The family is now residing at a local hotel due to the fire.
The GoFundMe account has been active for the last 18 months due to issues the family has struggled with prior to the fire. Details on those matters can be viewed on the GoFundMe page.
Those interested in assisting with material donations can contact Holt at (574) 895-0468.
