(KAIR)--A GoFundMe account is in place, with funds being raised to assist the Delia family who lost their rural home to fire on the night of December 12.
The family of 12, including Vince and Virgina Shibler, were able to evacuate without injury, according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, who says his office, and numerous local area fire departments, were called to the home, located at 13626 E. Road, around 10:00 that night. Despite firefighters remaining on the scene until 4:00 the following morning, the home, located north of Delia in southwestern Jackson County, is deemed to be a total loss.
The Sheriff's Office and Kansas Fire Marshal's Office have been investigating the cause of the fire.
At last check, the GoFundMe had nearly reached its $40,000 goal.
