A FUNDRAISER has been set up to support a Borth family who lost their home in a large fire on Friday.

Over 30 firefighters were called to Borth on Friday afternoon and the blaze burnt into the night, with nearby residents evacuated to the community hall, before returning to their homes at around 11pm last night.

No one is thought to have been seriously injured in the fire, but it is believed that the family may have lost some pets.

In response to the blaze, a friend of the Jarvis family whose house was destroyed by the fire, has set up a Gofundme page to offer the family some support.

Kat Sankey, who set up the fundraising page, which has already raised over £2,000, said: “I’m fundraising for very good friends of mine, a well known family from the Borth area (Jarvis’s) have lost there family home and everything inside due to a house fire which happened on 3 September.

“They have nothing left, lost everything from work tools, clothes, money, sentimental items which can not be replaced and also some pets.
