BRONSON — The home of Maxine Dickerson, rural Bronson, was destroyed by fire Thursday.
Volunteer firefighters from Moran and Bourbon County were called to the scene, although the house was fully engulfed by the time firefighters were summoned, the Allen County Sheriff’s Department reported.
Dickerson, who lived alone at the house, was not home when the fire started. She lost a pet dog in the blaze.
Friends have set up a GoFundMe account to benefit Dickerson, who lives on a limited income and had no insurance on her home. Type in “66755” in the search bar to donate.
As an aside, Dickerson’s grandson, Tristan Dickerson, is a volunteer firefighter and was among the crews who fought the fire for hours in Thursday’s cold, dreary rain.
