A Kuna family that is well known in the small community was displaced by a house fire Monday night, and firefighters are collecting donations to help them out.
None of the occupants of the house at 671 Syrup Court were home, and a neighbor reported the fire just before 7 p.m.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to a child's bedroom in the house, but there was extensive smoke damage throughout. One of the family's dogs died from smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
A fire official said the residents of the home are the family of Jayden Bennett, an 11-year-old boy who battled cancer before passing away Nov. 22. Firefighters know the family well, and Jayden rode the fire truck during a Kuna Days parade.
The family will be able to return to the house once it's cleaned up. Anyone who would like to make donations of cash or gift card to the family to help replace the bedding and contents of the child's room is asked to drop them off at the Kuna Fire Station at 150 W. Boise St.
