CALIFORNIA, Pa. — Community members in California Borough are rallying around the families who were displaced in Saturday’s fire. The blaze on Liberty Street left six homes damaged — three destroyed, three partially — and four families, including several with young children, without a home. No one was hurt. On Wednesday, they had to stop accepting clothing donations after receiving more than they ever imagined. Donations filled the local volunteer fire department, and firefighters moved items to the elementary school library, where every table and corner was taken — and this was after the first batch had already been delivered to the families. Community members can still contribute food, toiletries and gift cards to help the displaced families. However, they are no longer accepting clothing. The fire’s cause is still under investigation.
