CLEARFIELD, CLEARFIELD COUNTY - "Standing across the street I can look right up through what use to be our bedrooms windows and see the sky" describes fire victim Chris Lauver.
He and his neighbors apartments were destroyed by a fire in Clearfield Saturday Night.
"My kids cried mom are we going to be okay, are we going to be okay" said Christine Poore.
She tried to think of answer to her children's question, but she was wondering the same thing.
"Things that we've had for years and collected for years; how are we gonna start all of that from scratch" she said.
The community has stepped in. Donations are being accepted and a benefit has been planned. The Clearfield Volunteer Fire Department shared this information on their Facebook Page:
