Re: Fire at Big M salvage

UPDATE: I just spoke to John by phone, and the fire happened last week near dusk. Apparently started by cotton fluffs/leaves from cottonwood trees falling into compost pile near house. John tried to put fire out with hose & fire extinguisher, but failed. House was totally consumed quickly, but fortunately M'Lisa & her sister were able to escape. Besides the house, about a dozen project cars were destroyed. The other outbuildings were saved. Go-fund-me is legitimate - started by John's nephew. Since all of the California wildfires in past years, John has been unable to obtain insurance due to wood stove heat and distance from fire hydrant/fire department.

It was posted on the FL Net also from a legitimate contributor:

One of the main suppliers of Mopar parts for our hobby, John Fowlie of Big M Auto, had a structure fire at his place. His house was destroyed, as well as a number of project cars. He and his wife, M'Lisa, survived, although M'Lisa needed to be hospitalized due to smoke inhalation.

Here is a link to the GoFundMe page to help John and M'Lisa rebuild:

I received an email from a Go
Fund me , stating that big M auto, the supplier of Mopar parts in California, had a major house and storage facility fire and lost everything.
Has anybody else heard about this? I'm concerned that it is a scam
