OCEAN PINES–Fundraisers were quickly established after an Ocean Pines family lost their residence in a fire last Friday.
Two of the fundraisers were created Saturday online at www.gofundme. com for Jesse and Hailey Scott, who were renting the house at 9 Frigate Run, where they lived with their four children, Aaden, Marley, Kenady and Harrison, ages 12 to 5 months.
A fire started in the kitchen at about 7 p.m. and firefighters from the Ocean Pines and Showell fire departments responded. Shortly after they arrived, additional assistance was requested and firefighters from Berlin and Ocean City responded.
Hailey Scott and her children were home at the time of the fire, which spread to the roof. They left and stayed with a friend.
An investigation into the fire by the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office determined that unattended cooking was the cause. The fire investigator classified the fire as accidental.
The next morning at 3:33, another fire, determined to be a rekindle of the first fire, caused significant damage to the house, which is owned by Jeffrey and Jennifer Brooks of Oak Hall, Va. The house was fully engulfed in flames during that second fire. No family members were there at the time of the second fire.
The Scott Family Relief Fund at gofundme.com raised more than $6,000 in its first day. David Park started it to raise money to help the family relocate and to purchase clothing, furniture and toys and to pay for other expenses.
Also at gofundme.com is the Fire Relief Fund – Scott Family that raised $2,985 in about the same time. By Tuesday afternoon, the fund had grown to $3,335.
That fund was started by Elisa Urban, who works at Bliss Salon in West Ocean City and is a good friend of Hailey.
To help the family, Bliss Salon, located at 12310 Ocean Gateway, will have a cut-a-thon this Sunday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The staff there will give haircuts for cash donations. No minimum donation is required, Urban said Tuesday.
The family had requested fall and winter clothing, but those needs are being met.
They still need small furniture items, toys and basic household items such as kitchenware. Those donations may be taken to Bliss Salon, Quality Inn & Suites Beachfront at 33rd Street in Ocean City or Urban’s residence at 1226 Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines.
