The damage left behind by a fire can be a nightmare for a business. The physical and emotional toll can be overwhelming. A fire can even put a business out of operation for the foreseeable future. The loss of revenue can be devastating, and it can take months or even years to recover.
The Olalla Bay Market in Olalla, Washington, is currently dealing with long-term fire damage after a fire ravaged the beloved community store in the early morning of August 16, 2022. The fire caused significant damage, destroying merchandise and compromising the property’s structural integrity.
A Community Coming Together
Our team arrived at the Olalla Bay Market shortly after the firefighters fought the flames. Owners Gregg and Claudia Olsen were safe since the market had been closed, and no customers were inside at the time of the fire. Unfortunately, their insurance coverage had stopped the previous month, and they could not renew their policy.

After a thorough inspection, we knew it would take tremendous work to restore the market to its former glory. When our sympathetic team heard about the circumstance regarding the lack of insurance, we knew we had to help. The owners’ plight touched our hearts, so we took photos and videos of the damage to create a GoFundMe page to raise awareness of their financial recovery efforts.
Our fire damage restoration team is currently working diligently at the site. If you would like to contribute a monetary donation to assist the recovery, please consider visiting the Olalla Bay Market’s GoFundMe page. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Your generosity and kindness matter so much not only to the owners but to an entire community, too!
