“Looking at the store, I mean I grew up with it all my life,' said Lydia Raymond-Snowball, president of the Stebbins Community Association. 'And so did practically everyone here. It was our only store standing.'
The ANICA Stebbins store, the only store in the Western Alaska village, burned down after catching fire on Tuesday. Lydia Raymond-Snowball is president of the Stebbins Community Association, the local tribal government. She said her daughter Gwen, who lives right next to the ANICA Stebbins store, told her about the fire at around 6 a.m.
“There was no wind at all, and when it did catch wind, it was blowing toward the ocean, which is the west,” Raymond-Snowball said. “They don’t have electrical fuel pumps at this time, but they are able to do gravity feed and still get fuel out of that facility,” Zidek said.
