Fundraising Begins For Murrieta Family That Lost Home In Wildfire

MURRIETA, CA -- A Riverside County family is fundraising after they lost their home in the Liberty Fire that scorched 300 acres in the region. The family was the only one to lose their home in the devastating wildfire.

On the GoFundMe page, which was launched by a relative, it states that the Wade Family lost their home and pets.

"They got out of the fire with only the clothes on their backs," the page said. "They all made it out safely Thank God but unfortunately their pets did not. This is a tragic time for all of us. Anything will help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

As of Saturday morning, the campaign raised $13,000 of its $30,000 goal.

The Liberty Fire, which sparked Thursday afternoon near Los Alamos and Liberty roads, was one of six wildfires to hit Southern California. At least one person died during the devastating firestorm while a total of 175,000 acres and 793 buildings burned.
