BRUSLY - The home of a former Brusly councilman was badly damaged by a fire Saturday that required three fire departments to extinguish.

The fire at Don Neisler's home on Live Oak Drive is believed to have been accidental. Neisler served on the Brusly Town Council from 2011 until 2024.

Six firefighters required treatment for heat-related injuries. The heat index in Brusly at 10 a.m. was 104 degrees.

A message on social media Saturday said granddaughter Saylor Young was organizing help for Neisler and his wife Mary. Young requested clothing donations and assistance with meals. They need women's clothing in size medium and men's in extra large or 2XL. Donations can be dropped off at 4675 Aubrey Ann Drive in Addis.
