The community is banding together to support a family after their home in Inwood was destroyed by a fire two weeks ago.
Inwood Fire Department received the call late in the afternoon on Thursday, March 14. Fraserwood Fire Department assisted with the call.
“It was basically fully engulfed when we got there, unfortunately,” said Inwood Fire Chief Kyle Hazelton.
Jennifer and Scott Hanson and their family lost their home and all their belongings in the blaze, but everyone is safe and there were no major injuries. They have three daughters, with two of them still living at home.
“The community has been very supportive,” Jennifer Hanson said. “Our work has been really supportive too.”
She also acknowledged Teulon Coun. Kirt Ansell and Madeline’s Closet owner Shannon Dupont, who reached out to them soon after the fire.
The family is currently working with their insurance company to sort out the next steps. In the meantime, they would gratefully accept food items. Jennifer said food could be dropped off at Vidir at 379 1st St. in Teulon, where she and Scott both work.
In addition, a friend set up a GoFundMe page called “Scott and Jennie Hanson’s House Fire Relief” for anyone who would like to contribute.
Inwood Fire Department didn’t have any information about the cause of the fire.
