The Corvallis Fire Department, who aided in extinguishing the blaze along with other agencies, wrote on Facebook: “At approximately 2:20 p.m. on 01/11/2024 Corvallis fire was paged with Pinesdale fire department for reports of a structure fire.
“Upon arriving on scene command units saw a fully involved working fire and requested mutual aid from Victor Fire and EMS Montana and Hamilton – MT Fire Department. Crews quickly began working on fire knockdown in the defensive attack.
“After some time command recognized the heavy workload with minimal crews further requesting mutual aid from Darby Fire Department and Stevensville Rural Fire District. Crews did extinguish the fire as quickly and efficiently as possible.”

Mindy Jessop, who works as Kody and Robyn’s nanny to help care for their five children, started a GoFundMe page for her mother, asking for donations with a goal of $40,000.
A description on the page reads: “Family, friends, community, and anybody else who this may reach, today; January 11th, 2024, Lisa Jessop, a mother of 11 lost her home of 43 years to a devastating house fire.

“This was a home to all of her children and is a substantial loss to the whole family. While we can’t get back most of the photographs or sentimental objects stored there, we are grateful to say that no person or pet was injured from the fire.”
“As nothing in the home was salvageable, we are asking for aid from anybody in a position to help Lisa and our affected family members. Even the smallest donations can help with the essentials, beginning to rebuild, and regaining some sense of normalcy. We are grateful for any support you can provide during this trying time,” the statement continued.
“Thank you for considering to be a part of our mom’s journey towards recovery. Those who have met Lisa know the kindness, selflessness, and compassion she shows on a daily basis to those surrounding her. We are determined to get through this unfortunate circumstance and will be eternally grateful for any contribution those reading this can make, whether it be financially, morally, or through prayer.”
In an update posted on January 17, Mindy wrote, “Mom was able to go see the house for the first time since it burned down. This is a very sad time but we are determined to rebuild and keep moving forward. Thank you again everyone for your generosity, support, prayers and donations.”
She also shared photos of the inside of the home, as all that is left are burned items and debris.
FAMILY SNUBBED?
So far, the family has reached $12,416 of the $40,000 goal.
While many Jessop family members donated, Kody and Robyn are not listed as one of the many contributors.
The U.S. Sun is unable to confirm if Sister Wives stars Kody and Robyn donated to the GoFundMe page anonymously.
They also have not promoted the GoFundMe on their social media pages.
Kody, Robyn and Mindy did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

MORE FAMILY TRAGEDY
This is the third tragedy to hit Robyn’s family in recent years.
Robyn’s brother Paul Sullivan Jr. died at age 22 by suicide.
Robyn’s brother Paul is the son of her stepfather Paul Sullivan Sr. and her mother, Allison.
The Utah police report previously obtained by The U.S. Sun revealed Paul Jr. was found dead in his home on April 4, 2017.
According to the report, Paul’s girlfriend called authorities when she found him unresponsive in his apartment.
An officer confirmed Paul was deceased upon arrival.
“As I looked around the room I saw a handgun that was on the floor… There was a notebook on the mini fridge in front of the couch with what appeared to be a suicide note,” the report read.
The Medical Examiner determined Paul died by suicide from a gunshot wound.
‘DEEPLY MISSED’
According to Paul’s obituary, he was enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard.
At the time of his death, he was attending Southern Utah University majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology and Criminal Justice.
“Paul loved all outdoor activities including camping, hiking, snowmobiling, sports, and riding his motorcycle ‘Lana.’ He was an excellent soccer player, excelled in school and work, and was passionate about serving his country,” his obituary read.
“He always made time for his nieces and nephews playing video games, going on adventures, and making them feel special. He was the baby of the family and was very loved. He will be deeply missed by all who know him.”
Paul’s father and Robyn’s stepfather also passed away on February 22, 2022.
His obituary mentioned his late son, “Paul Howard Sullivan, age 80, retired from this world to take up residency in our Heavenly Father’s carpentry shop on February 22, 2022.
“His new role will be overseeing the building of many picnic tables, so the inhabitants may sit and enjoy spending time with loved ones. In truth, though, Paul can again put his son Paul Jr. to work building tables as he sits back and instructs.”
Robyn and Lisa are listed in the obituaries.
ROBYN’S LIFE TODAY
Robyn remains the only wife married to Kody today.
His third wife Christine, 51, announced her split from Kody in November 2021 after 25 years of spiritual marriage.
She married David Woolley in a Utah ceremony in October 2023.
Kody’s second wife, Janelle, 54, left him shortly after Christine in December 2022.
Kody’s first wife Meri, 53, then announced her split from him in January 2023.
Meri introduced her new boyfriend, Amos Andrews, on social media in January 2024.
Meri confirmed their split over the weekend.
Kody has resided with his fourth wife Robyn in their $890,000 Utah home.
He remained primarily with her throughout covid, as he claimed she was the only wife to follow his strict pandemic rules.
His rules are what contributed to the splits, as he mainly saw Robyn and their children.
They share children Ariella and Solomon, as Kody adopted her kids Breanna, Aurora and Dayton from a previous marriage.
