Community Bands Together To Help Fire Survivors

(WPXI) – Five days after a devastating fire in Jeannette, the community is still finding new ways to help and support the survivors. The tragic fire at a home on Guy Street claimed the life of Tyler King and four of his children. Miranda John and two of their other children survived. Immediately, the community sprang into action to help. “We’re all here to support her, her children, to make sure that she doesn’t have to worry. She can be financially stable, and she knows the community loves her,” said Jennifer Deemer, who started a GoFundMe, which has raised more than $100,000. Deemer also organized an enormous community event Monday night which included a vigil and prayer service inside the Jeannette American Legion Post and a celebration of life outside on 5th Street. According to Deemer, the three survivors are now out of the hospital.
