I just learned about this tragedy.
A woman and her twelve year old stepdaughter are the only survivors to a horrific fire that claimed the rest of the family, consisting of husband/father, 4 year old son/brother and 9 month old daughter/sister. Along with this, everything they owned has been destroyed.
Here are two news articles:
[link][link]There is a trust, the Buckland Family Trust, out there for those who are interested in sending a donation to help out Amanda and Ayllissa Buckland.
Here's a news article regarding the fund:

Lastly, a cousin of Amanda Buckland is also collecting items for the two. Her name is Aimmee Giacchina. You may call her to arrange delivery/pick up/shipping details:

I guess it's not a bad thing to state at this time: check your fire alarms, and if you don't have alarms and extinguishers - get them! Perhaps this is one of the best gifts anyone could give to anyone else this time of year. Sadly, a statement that came at the cost of many lives, three added to the list now.
( I learned about this via CakeWrecks at
