Riley’s Pour House took to social media, first to thank their patrons for their support and to assure them that staff is safe. In a second update, the pub said there have been reports of fake accounts posing as fundraising pages. The pub said they will share any legitimate fundraisers directly to their Facebook page.
“We kindly ask that you avoid donating to these fraudulent pages, as they are attempting to exploit our tragedy for personal gain. Thank you for your support and vigilance,” the post reads.
No one was hurt in the fire.
