Coast Milling Works, located at 58 Swan Street in Medford, was destroyed by a fire that happened around 4:20 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4, as previously reported by Daily Voice

The fire also took the life of an employee, who was apparently sleeping inside the building's bathroom when it went up in flames. Their identity has yet to be released.

A GoFundMe campaign, looking to raise $25,000, has since been launched to help owners Kelly and Joe recover. 

"If you ever met or got to know them, you would quickly realize they would give you the shirts off their back and food from their mouth without hesitation," the campaign page reads. "If you could help get them through this tragedy they would greatly appreciate it and they are so deserving."
