A Bangor mum has spoken about her devastation after her family has been left homeless following an accidental house fire.
The mum-of-four, who did not wish to be named, was at home on Wednesday, June 29 with three of her young children. While she was downstairs cleaning up from lunch, her two-year-old climbed over their stairgate, took a lighter that was on her unit for lighting a candle, and lit a play tent in his bedroom on fire.
Everyone was able to make it safely out of the house before the fire service arrived. However, their possessions have been destroyed, and the family have been left without a home.
