“I’d like to have everyone maybe pray for the Brack family who have lost absolutely everything,” said neighbour Cindy Ekkel.

Part of Ekkel’s home also caught fire when she went to help her neighbour.

Damage to the Ekkel home was limited to the garage, yard and RV.

The family did lose a trunk full of family memories.
