Arnold House Fire A Total Loss on Christmas Eve...Please Reach Out to This Family If You Can
Arnold, CA...EPFD is reporting a house fire at approximately 4:05am on December 24th, 2007, at 1074 Lilac Drive in Arnold. The cause is under investigation. The house is total loss. The home belonged to Pat and Susan Tarpley of Tarpley Electric. The family was apparently not home when this happened. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this family during this very difficult time. Luckily the home was fully insured and the insurance company has cooperated extremely well, according to Susan Tarpley. Their family dog also survived.....
They are looking for a temporary place to live while they rebuild that does accept pets. It can be furnished or un-furnished. Please email them at tarpleyselectrical@comcast.net or call them at (209)795.7732 with any assistance you can offer this family.
They basically need everything. You can make donations to Tarpley's Electric at 3361 Hwy 4 in Avery.
