TOWN OF RIB FALLS, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — Fire has destroyed a home in rural Marathon County while the family was vacationing.
The fire was reported at about 2:15 AM on Friday in a home owned by Larry Draeger. His brother spoke to WAOW TV, saying the family has lost everything.
“It’s sickening because you know everything in your life is there. I know he’s on vacation to a warm island, so all his winter clothes, his personals, his firearms, anything that’s personal to him, and her. Because, she moved here from the Philippines, all the stuff she brought with her, it’s all gone,” said James Draeger.
Larry and his wife were visiting her family in the Philippines and are scheduled to return soon.
No one was injured in the fire and no pets were lost. Donations to help the family rebuild are being accepted at any Incredible Bank location in Central Wisconsin.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Foul play is not suspected.
