A GoFundMe campaign has been launched after a Rock Creek man鈥檚 home went up in flames earlier this month.

Jennifer Klumpp said her brother-in-law Kyle鈥檚 home was struck by lightning around 4 a.m. on Aug. 4. In her fundraising campaign, Klumpp said the fire ignited at the house鈥檚 front door.

鈥淥nce Kyle had realized how extreme the situation was, he tried several things trying to save it,鈥� according to the page.

鈥淭he blaze happened so fast there was very little he could do.鈥�

Kyle, along with his dog, made it out safely with no injuries.

鈥淯nfortunately, there is no insurance that will cover this home,鈥� she wrote.

鈥淜yle has always been a sentimental kind of guy with a lot of special things in his home that can鈥檛 be replaced.

The funds raised from the campaign will go towards helping Kyle build a new house in the spring.
