ALIQUIPPA, Pa. (KDKA) – The city of Aliquippa is rallying behind a family who lost everything after their home was badly damaged by two separate fires in two days.

The first fire started Friday in the kitchen of a home on Main Street near Burton Street.

That fire was contained, but the family couldn't stay there and was sent to a motel overnight.

Around 4 a.m. Saturday, a fire of suspicious origin destroyed the interior of the home and all of its contents.

Meanwhile, churches in the community are offering the family food clothing and a free place to live for two weeks.
