An online funding campaign has raised nearly $36,000 in less than a week for a Utah business that burned the morning of July 24.

No one was hurt in the fire at Frontier Woodworks, which specializes in handcrafted doors and millwork, but the main body of the business is a total loss, according to fire officials. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but officials believe it started near a dust collection system with a lot of machinery.

“The shop and much of the equipment were lost. Rebuilding will take time, resources, and patience,” states the GoFundMe page, started by local community members to help the owners get up and running again. “We’re rallying together to help with immediate recovery needs: replacing lost tools, covering temporary business expenses, and keeping the dream alive while the shop gets back on its feet. Every donation, no matter the size, helps show that this community stands together.”

The online campaign can be accessed here.
