A Careywood couple's longtime home was destroyed in the Sunset Fire on Wednesday, and relatives are rallying to help them start over.

Walter and Linda Anderson, who live on Sunset Road, escaped without injury but could not save their house.

"We're looking to help Walter and Linda rebuild in a new life," wrote Phil Peck, husband of Bobbie Jo Peck, the Anderson's daughter, on a GoFundMe page. "Anything anyone might be able to do would be greatly appreciated. They have and always will have the loving support of family and friends."

Peck said they were alerted Wednesday afternoon to the fast-growing wildfire on Sunset Road in Careywood, the same road that is home to the Andersons and was the childhood home to both of their children, Bobbie Jo and Brandon. 

Four hours later, the home that had countless family memories was gone.

"The fire ripped through the property and destroyed everything. Walter and Linda were able to evacuate safely, but only with their camper, the tractor to pull it off the mountain, and some clothes," Peck wrote. "Everything else is gone."

While relieved no one was hurt, Peck said recovering is going to be rough for the Andersons.

"We're still just trying to take care of the basics as we get them settled in here with family, but there will be some tough days ahead as we figure out the long-term situation," he wrote.

Peck said they have heard from many people checking on Walter and Linda.

"The love you've shown demonstrates how amazing these two people are and how connected they have been to all of you," he wrote.

The GoFundMe account had raised $3,185 through 43 donations as of Friday night. 

Funds will be given solely to Walter and Linda to help them start over after this devastating loss.
