A house was burned to the ground Yesterday Morning in Elk County, and donations are being collected for the man who lost his home and his pet in the blaze.
Our crews on scene say the fire started around 7:30 AM on the 6200 block of Route 555 in Benezette Township.
The resident is Allen Leehe who survived the fire and is said to be doing well.
The Benezette Hotel is collecting clothing donations for Leehe and the Elk Crossing Store is collecting monetary donations.
Organizers are asking for mens size-medium shirts, men’s size 33/30 pants, and size 8 shoes.
“Allen has lost everything in the fire, he even lost a pet in the fire so basically he has to start over with nothing, and Benzette is a small community and when somebody in need needs something in this community everybody joins together as a family.”
