An early morning fire at 2085 Carbonville Road in Helper left a family displaced as both Price and Helper Fire Departments responded to the call around 6:20 am.

“The fire has been ruled as accidental and unfortunately the home is a total loss for the young couple,” said Price City Fire Chief, Paul Bedont. “The homeowners had working smoke alarms and that is what notified the residents of the fire and to exit the home immediately.” The home was owned by Brandon and Nicole Olsen. 

Bedont suggest that community members make sure that their smoke alarms as well as CO2 detectors are in working order. If you or your loved ones do not have currently in the home, they would both make great Christmas gift ideas.

A Breakfast Fundraiser with 100% of proceeds going to the family has been organized for Sunday, Dec. 11 at 8:00 am till 1:00 pm at Sherald’s Frosty Freeze at 434 East Main Street in Price. Sherald’s will break regular business hours and be open on Sunday to sell Items like Ham & Cheese Omelets, French toast sticks, an Early Bird Sandwich, Scones, Breakfast Burritos as well as hot coffee and chocolate.

If you are unable to attend the Breakfast Fundraiser but would like to help the Olsen Family you can make a donation to an account that has been set up for them at Eastern Utah Community Credit Union.
