It's been a busy weekend for Great Falls firefighters as another family is left homeless after a fire broke out at their home near 36th Street South and 2nd Ave South.

The call came in around 1 p.m. today, when people driving by saw smoke coming from the home. According to the family, they left to pick up their son from a sleepover. About 15 minutes later, they came back to see fire crews surrounding their house.

A dog was safely recovered from the home, but a cat died in the blaze.

The fire may have began in the basement of the home, but that has yet to be confirmed.

My name is Norene Beaver and I am Director of an organization called Out of the Ashes - we were created out of the ashes of our second home fire. I have a 17 page handout that I would like to get to the family. It is full of information on first steps, next steps and how to save items that many think are un-savable and how to get the most out of their insurance claim. If anyone knows how I might reach them, please email me at contact@outoftheasheswa.org. All services are offered free of charge. My prayers are with the family. Blessings Norene Beaver www.outoftheasheswa.org
