The blaze broke out around 5 p.m. at a building at 1319 9th St., and spread quickly due to ferocious winds.

Several GoFundMes have been launched for the victims. Among them, Jackson Bravo, who lost his beloved pets in the blaze. More than $4,800 had been raised for him.

Another campaign was launched for Scott Henriquez, by his brother.

"With your help, we will help Scott and his family, and their dog, recover from this event and bounce back financially from the loss of their home," the page reads. It had garnered more than $4,400 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Support was surging for the Maldonado and Navas families, who have two dogs and a baby, and can't access any of their belongings.

Lastly, Amia Cruz launched a fundraiser for her grandmother, Carmen Ortiz, who was evacuated with help from Amia's brothers — "leaving absolutely everything behind," she writes.

Carmen had apparently moved into the home just four months ago.

Six houses were reportedly consumed by the flames.
