A home was lost tonight.

Those who lived in this house on Camas Street in Coulee Dam were down the street when it started to burn; no one was home, Grand Coulee Fire Chief Ryan Fish saiid.

The fire at the home of Shayla and Shawn Deckwa apparently started about 8:30 p.m., Friday, April 10.

At least four fire departments were on scene with equipment, housing the flames on a windy night and spraying down the siding on neighboring houses to keep them cool as neighbors watched from a sidewalk across the street.

Shayla Deckwa's aunt, Kimberly Eaton, has organized a fundraiser for the family with two small children. It's on the gofundme website for the family, who lost everything in fire, including Karma, the family dog. A link is below.
