The home of longtime North Bend residents Rob and LeAnn Walker was gutted by fire the night of Jan. 24. Everybody in the mobile home, including all four children – ages 2, 5, 16 and 18 – were safely evacuated.

The fire likely was caused by an electrical problem in the dryer, according to Eastside Fire and Rescue.

A family spokesperson said they are very thankful for the help provided by firefighters and neighbors.

The LeAnn Walker Fire Contribution Fund was set up at Bank of America; contributions may be made at any branch.
