As i said in the shout box, last night was pretty mental.
Luckily there was no one at home at the time but the response from the fire brigade was immense, they were there in minutes. It took them almost an hour to put it out, i'd say the flames that came out of the window must have been close to 10 ft. I've never actually seen a house burning before, i've seen the smoke and fire engines rushing to them but never actually been face to face with something like this. The police were kicking down doors to the houses either side to make sure there was no one in there. The house to the left was full of smoke when the door was kicked down.
Later on i decide to pop my head out the window and see how it was going, completely the wrong time because the family had just come back. Was awful to see, most of them were obviously in tears but they'll hopefully take the fact that no one was hurt away with them.
I've no idea what caused this but with the heat that we're having obviously doesn't help. Just wanted to post this to say keep safe <3
