Dewitt family giving back to Sicamous heroes following devastating barn fire
The family set up a dedicated donation account to support responding fire departments after the blaze destroyed their barn and calves, officials said.
- Early on Sept. 24, a devastating fire destroyed the barn and calves at D Dutchmen Dairy, which Bianca Colonna described as "a farmer's worst nightmare."
- Sicamous Fire Rescue, aided by Malakwa and Swansea Point fire departments, quickly extinguished the blaze, with the Dewitts crediting the response as "absolutely amazing."
- The Dewitts established a relief fund after receiving numerous requests about where to direct monetary support, directing donations toward the responding fire departments.
- Donations are being managed through SASCU Credit Union with a dedicated account, accepting e-transfer contributions and cash at the dairy to ensure appropriate fund disbursement.
- In a Sept. 27 update, Colonna announced the farm's first calf since the fire, named Jenny, with the family accepting 'J' name suggestions on Facebook.
