The City of Salem is launching a relief effort for two households with pets displaced by a house fire that occurred on Roslyn Street in Salem on March 10. Donations are now being collected to support them as they begin to recover from the fire.
Additionally, if you know of short-term rentals in Salem that may be available for these displaced individuals, please contact jmota@salem.com and we will share the information with the victims.
