A fundraiser has been set up to help a family who lost everything in a house fire on Wednesday.
The couple, who are aged in their 30s and have a four-year-old girl, lost all of their possessions in the blaze which gutted the two-bedroom end of terrace house in Stratton, Swindon.
Four fire crews and an aerial platform were called to the scene in Griffiths Close, off Ermin Street, shortly after 2pm on 5 August where the found a bedroom well alight – with flames and smoke issuing. The blaze was battled by six breathing apparatus wearers using two hose reel jets.
The family are now living out of a hotel but have only the clothes there were wearing when the fire broke out. Everything else was completely destroyed by fire or significantly smoke damaged.
