An Erie family is without a home after a fire destroyed the property on Sunday, April 21. 

Steve and Jen Erickson, their 13 year old daughter, and 11 year old twin girls all made it without of the home without injury, along with their dogs and cat. 

However, one of their beloved cats did not survive the fire. 

According to the GoFundMe, the fire looks to be caused by a sump pump that did not turn off and overheated. 

Steve and Jen said the dogs altered them to the fire. 

The Erickson family left the house with only the closes on their back. All their possessions have been lost to fire and smoke damage. 

Lisa Van Riper has created a GoFundMe page to help support the family.
