House Fire in Inverary

Fire destroyed a new home where Shelby Eves, her partner Travis and their young son Grayson, had been living in for only two months.

The fire took place on January 3rd, and firefighters, Paramedics, and neighbours were on hand quickly, and the three occupants of the house all escaped unharmed, physically at least.

Shelby Eves took to social media soon after the fire,

“I loved the area. I loveeeddd our house. I truly was so content for the almost 2 months we have been there… I cannot even explain how we all feel… but thank you so much, the firefighters, the EMS, the neighbours. The passers-by. The people donating & assisting & the people who came running when our world was quite quickly catching into flames. The main thing is, everyone got out, the dogs included, I lost my hedgehog, as he was upstairs & I couldn’t get back in to grab him,” she wrote.

Shelby's mother, Deborah Hill, also thanked the local community, on Monday. "We have spent the last two days receiving donations for them. I am overwhelmed with everyone’s kindness and generosity. Thank you thank you thank you. Everyone has made this horrific event bearable. So from Shelby’s mama. Thank you everyone Thank you everyone.

A Gofundme page has been set up to help the couple, with costs. It has a target of $16,000, and as of Tuesday, was sitting at 87%, just under $14,000, from 72 donations.
