GoFundMe page launched for victims in weekend Gainesville house fire

By AccessWDUN Staff

A GoFundMe page has been created for a family whose Gainesville home suffered significant damage in a Saturday morning fire.

The Gainesville Fire Department previously told AccessWDUN that the home on Springview Drive caught fire early Saturday morning. The fire was extinguished at about 2:30 a.m.

The GoFundMe page said the Carney family was out of town and no one was hurt at the time of the fire.

"Unfortunately, everything in their house burned or is ruined due to smoke damage, including Ryan’s car which was in the driveway," the GoFundMe page reads. "I am asking for donations for this sweet family as they now do not have any of the bare necessities, as well as Christmas presents for the boys and any of the essentials needed for caring for a newborn."
