WASHINGTON — A GoFundMe has been started to help a man who lost everything in an Northwest D.C. apartment fire cover some bills, including emergency vet bills for his one remaining dog.
While out running errands on Saturday, Daniel Johnson's apartment in the 4500 block of MacArthur Boulevard, NW caught fire.
Two out of his three dogs died in the fire.
A third dog was transported to a nearby vet for emergency treatment immediately after.
This is where that dog, a Dalmatian named Cinder, remains receiving treatment.
No one else was injured in the fire.
Anyone with the means can donate what they can through GoFundMe to help Johnson cover emergency vet bills as well as clothes and furnishings to help him get back on his feet.
Johnson's sister Dayle says her brother is an advocate for animals.
"He has made it a mission to rescuing Dalmatians. He also is a retired volunteer fire fighter and understands the pain, loss and devastation fire brings," said Dayle Johnson.
