DILLON — On Friday night, while many were gearing up for the annual Christmas Stroll, disaster struck as alarm bells rang out, signaling a fire emergency. The Dillon Volunteer Fire Department quickly responded to reports of a trailer fire off North Railroad Street. Despite their best efforts, the trailer was deemed a total loss.
The fire has left Sabrina and Timothy Nichols without their possessions, clothing, medical supplies, and a home. The community's immediate response has been heartwarming, as family and friends turned to social media, reaching out for assistance just a day after the fire.
In response, residents have mobilized to collect donations, asking for items to help the Nichols family get back on their feet. Community members are encouraged to donate clothing, particularly men’s 2XL shirts, colostomy supplies, fragrance-free laundry supplies, women’s clothing sizes up to 5XL, and women’s size 10 wide shoes. They are also in need of a bi-pap machine.
Big Sky Cinema has taken the initiative to serve as a drop-off location for donations after 3:30 PM.
In addition to their immediate needs, the Nichols family is faced with the challenge of removing the wreckage of their old trailer from the rented lot.
For those who wish to contribute financially, the family can be supported through Venmo at Sabrina-Nichols-1 (last four digits of phone number: 0127) and Cash App at $sabrinanich24.
