No one was injured after a fire broke out Wednesday morning at a home in Jim Thorpe.

A GoFundMe has been organized by Melissa Feller of Jim Thorpe, who said her friend Tina Duffy lost her home and everything in it during the fire.

Feller said both of Duffy’s sons were not home at the time of the fire, but one of her cats perished in the blaze, while the other is still missing.

As of 8:30 a.m. Thursday, $3,445 of the $5,000 goal had been raised.

Borough fire Chief Vince Yaich said the dispatch came in at around 9:20 a.m. for an active dwelling fire at 514 Center Ave.

Yaich said that when he arrived on-scene, there was heavy fire coming out the rear of the first floor extending into the second floor and into the attic.

“Incoming units got in here, made an aggressive attack,” Yaich said. “The guys made a great attack.”

Yaich said the homeowner, who works from home, was at home at the time and stated she smelled smoke, went out toward the kitchen area, and when she opened the door, the fire quickly took off and she quickly exited the building.

He said there were no injuries.

Yaich said the home had heavy fire damage to all three floors in the rear, while the rest of the residence received smoke and water damage.

He said it took firefighters about 90 minutes to bring the blaze under control, and added that units remained on scene for another hour doing overhaul.

Yaich said that he doesn’t believe the fire to be suspicious, the cause is undetermined, and added he was waiting on a state police fire marshal.

He said also assisting at the scene were the Lehighton Fire Department, Mahoning Valley Fire Department, Palmerton Fire Department, Penn Forest Township Fire Company No. 1, Nesquehoning Fire Department, Lansford and Summit Hill RIT Team, Weatherly RIT Team, Lehighton Ambulance and Lehighton Rehab.

Yaich thanked all those who responded, and noted that his department is faced with the same problems most companies have during the day.

“Manpower because of working; there’s a shortage of firemen anymore,” he said. “The incoming companies got here really quick and went right to work and did a great job.”
