Fundraiser for those affected by fatal Cumbria fire set up
A man died following the blaze in Kirkby Lonsdale
A fundraiser to help those affected by a fatal fire in Kirkby (Kur-bee) Lonsdale has gone over £15,000.
A man died following the blaze on Main Street last weekend with a number of homes badly damaged.
He's been named locally as 45-year-old Ben Taylor - who was a local business owner.
Fire crews were called to Main Street at 5.45 am on Sunday 8th December.
A man in his 40s was recovered from the building in the early hours of the morning, but pronounced dead at the scene - his next of kin has been told.
Another person referred himself to Lancashire Infirmary, and is being checked over for smoke inhalation.
No-one else is believed to have been hurt.
Some of Main Street remains cordoned off, over four days after the incident.
