A fire overnight broke out in a small strip of businesses in Haines. The Quick Shop, Outfitter Liquor store, Outfitter Sporting Goods, and Mike’s Bikes and Boards were burned to the ground. Four apartments were also destroyed by the fire, which was reported at about 9:30 p.m.

The source of the fire is believed to be in one of the apartments in the building. All persons in the building are said to be accounted for. By morning, the building, owned by Mike Ward, was smoldering but the blaze was under control.

A GoFundMe account to assist the families in the apartments has been set up by Haines resident Ken Ashbrook and can be contributed to at this link.

According to Ashbrook, all of residents, about 12 people total, including a new family with a baby less than one year old, have lost their home along with all their possessions.

  1. Tragic indeed..I would hope that the good conservative folks that pay attention to MRAK can loose their purse strings a bit and be a liberal, non-politically of course, for this one good cause..even a simple $20 helps the Haines families that lost everything and will go through much angst for quite awhile..
