Two Rivers has spent the last year restoring their community after a series of arsons.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - It has been just over a year since Jamison Gallion was arrested for committing arson in the community of Two Rivers. Since his arrest and the final attack in August of 2021, Two Rivers has come together and grown to restore their community.
Ginger and Donald McKee were attacked in the following weeks. Losing multiple structures on their property, the McKees suffered emotional and financial damage with all of the other victims. One of the buildings that burned was a work garage that was used for general contracting jobs. Inside that garage the couple lost “[a] million dollars worth of tools and equipment,” according to Ginger McKee, adding “We lost half our income.
Unfortunately for all of the victims, community resources were also stripped away in another attack. “One of the things that was hard was that we lost our free store,” said Shea. “That would’ve been perfect for our fire victims.” The free store was a community facility where residents could donate items and take items from for no cost. That resource was burned to the ground.
