Excerpts from the daily-chronicle.com:

Less than 48 hours after Park Ridge Firefighter Michael Isom and his family lost their home, the GoFundMe page set up to help them had raised more than $15,000. At present, donors have pledged more than $19,000 of the $20,000 goal as of Sunday.  Aside from the loss of their home, Isom and his family are OK, but they’ll need time.
