WEST POINT — A house in West Point is considered a total loss after a fire overnight Tuesday.
About 2:30 a.m., crews were dispatched to the fire at 4322 W. 800 North in West Point, North Davis Fire District Chief Mark Becraft said.
When firefighters arrived, the roof of the garage was "totally involved," and the fire extended into the attic, Becraft said. Seven fire agencies responded to help fight the blaze.
The house is an estimated $400,000 loss, according to Becraft. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
A person who identifies himself as the homeowners' son established a GoFundMe* campaign to raise money to help the family.
"My parents and two little brothers (18 and 15 years old) have lost everything and the house is considered a complete loss. This fund is to help address their immediate living situation. Any additional money will be used to help rebuild their lives. Thank you in advance," the son says.
