FREMONT, IND. (WTVB) – A GoFundMe page that was set up in the aftermath of a fire that killed four persons including three children on Saturday morning in Fremont, Indiana has raised over $16,000 so far.
It was set up by family member Samantha Korlowicz with a goal of raising about $19,000 for medical and cremation costs.
The Indiana State Police and the State Fire Marshal’s Office continue to investigate the fire which claimed the lives of 37-year-old Rebecca White of Fremont, her five-year-old son Emmett Freed and her two daughters- three-year-old Eleanor Freed and 21-month-old Alaura Freed.
The fire was reported just after 5:00 a.m. on Saturday morning on East Toledo Street just to the east of the downtown Fremont area.
Firefighters found White and her children inside the burning structure. All four victims were transported to Cameron Community Memorial Hospital in Angola.
The three children were pronounced deceased at the hospital. White was flown from Cameron Hospital to the burn center at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, where she later died from her injuries.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office says the fire appears to have started on the second floor in an area that was not occupied at the time. At this early stage of the investigation, it appears all four occupants were believed to be in a single bedroom.
