Emergency crews responded to a fire at a mobile home in Great Falls on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

Great Falls man treated for burns after house fire

The fire happened at 4811 Second Avenue North and was reported at about 11:30 p.m.

Great Falls Fire Rescue says that there were two people at home when the fire started; both were able to get out of the home.

One of them was taken to a hospital for burns, and later flown to a hospital in Utah.

Firefighters had to contend with exposure issues as there was a large propane tank on site.

The fire was under control within about 30 minutes.

The home and all contents have been deemed a complete loss.

Family friend Megan Dunn has created a GoFundMe to help the family. It says:

Dilley was severely injured & has been mercy flighted to Salt Lake, UT for burns on his hands & legs with Hannah thankfully by his side.

Dunn also said that she is working to create a bank account for people who would prefer to donate that way.

Courtney Thom, a friend of the family, is collecting donated items:

For everyone who has reached out right now, Dillen, Hannah and Matthew are all okay. Everyone is alive - that’s the important part. Dillen is in good spirits - yay! Currently, it’s a waiting game as to what they need - until they get back home, no one knows. They do need clothes and will need toys for their boys. Everything is gone and money would be most beneficial to helping them get back to where they need to be - a home etc. As for clothes, below is a list of sizes for the four of them.
Matthew - 28x28 Jeans - 16 shirts - Men’s 8.5 shoes
Dax - 4/5T clothes - 10 shoes
Hannah - XL Shirts - 34x30 jeans - 9 in women’s shoes
Dillen - 30x32 jeans - Lg shirts - size 11 men’s shoes - could probably use sweats / baggier clothes due to the burns on his legs.

Thom says that anything anyone wants to drop off for them can be dropped off at her house, or she can meet you to pick it up. You can find her on Facebook, or text her at 406-590-7467.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
