Crane Lake fire destroys three-bedroom home
Local community comes together with fundraisers to support owner
CRANE LAKE- People in Crane Lake are rallying around Randy Stern after a Sunday morning fire destroyed his Gold Coast Road home.
The fire was reported around 11:40 a.m. in the 7600 block of Gold Coast Road, and the three-bedroom house was quickly and completely engulfed in flames. The Crane Lake, Buyck, and Orr fire departments responded, but the house was a total loss. Four springer spaniels also reportedly died in the fire. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
Stern’s neighbor, Bill Congdon, has set up a fundraiser on GoFundMe to raise money on Stern’s behalf.
“One of Crane Lake’s community family, Randy S., lost everything in a house fire. We are reaching out to everyone to help out in any way they can,” Congdon wrote.
As of Tuesday night, 33 donors had contributed $2,780.
Voyagaire Lodge & Houseboats is also coming to Stern’s aid by hosting a silent auction Friday and Saturday nights, with the bidding commencing Friday and concluding Saturday. Live music will be provided both nights by Charlie Darmer.
Anyone wanting to contribute items for the silent auction should call 218-993-2266. To contribute to the GoFundMe campaign, go to https://gofund.me/d6ff44f9.
