Fire stole a Big Lake family's home, pets and Christmas gifts. But it's COVID-19 that's their biggest challenge now.

The fire was already burning out of control by the time Lauren McIver-O’Hara and her children pulled into the driveway of their Big Lake home Friday evening.
They couldn’t save anything inside — all their possessions, Christmas presents and 17 pets.
Now McIver-O’Hara and her 10-, 15- and 17-year-old children are staying with a friend as a supportive community gathers donations, including a trailer they can live in soon.
Her 48-year-old husband, Robert McIver, can’t be there to help.
He’s been hospitalized with COVID-19 for nearly two weeks.
“He doesn’t think that he’ll make it home for Christmas and we’re all really bummed about that,” McIver-O’Hara said Wednesday morning before heading to work at the Alaska Club in Wasilla. “But it is what it is. We want him home but we also want him healthy.”
