Family Loses Possessions In Fire

A family has lost most of their worldly possessions in a fire that tore through their Bryanston home. It is unclear as to why the fire started, but it seems that the roof was the first thing to catch alight.

A mother and two eighteen month old children were in the house at the time, but fortunately the woman kept a cool head, collecting the children and removing them from the home before the fire got worse. The Fire and Rescue services were called along with ER24 paramedics to attend to the scene. The paramedics assessed the mother and two children, who seemed physically unaffected by the incident, but it was recommended to them that they see a physician for possible smoke inhalation. The three were taken to a family members’ house to deal with the shock of what had happened.

The fire devastated their home, with firemen pulling out undamaged furniture to try and salvage it. The front lawn of the house was littered with their undamaged possessions. Fire investigators will determine the exact cause of the fire.
