Squad 45 with the Clinton Fire Department responded to the blaze in Washington Borough shortly before 8:20 a.m., they said.
The Broad Street fire destroyed most of the family’s possessions, according to a GoFundMe launched for the victims.
“One of my dearest friends' mother, Sarah Zamorsky, has lost the majority of her & her daughter's belongings to the fire that began this morning on Broad Street- downtown Washington Boro,” reads the fundraiser, launched by Miranda Lauton.
More than $450 had been raised in just four hours of the campaign’s $5,000 goal.
Meanwhile, the family is also accepting non-monetary donations, including clothing, linens, and non-perishable foods, the campaign says.
“These are trying times and this unfortunate event certainly doesn't help,” Lauton writes.
