Getting up to take her son to school may well have saved a Bristol mum’s life, after her kitchen caught fire due to an electrical fault with her microwave. Vicky Watton from Little Stoke said if she’d had her planned lie-in that morning, it was likely the fire would have spread.
Speaking to Bristol Live Ms Watton said: “I wasn’t due to take my son to school, normally he takes the bus., but that morning I decided to take him. When I was coming home, I was also going to go to the shops, but after going around the traffic circle three times, I decided to go home.
“When I walked inside, there was black smoke everywhere and it was all ablaze. I was in there for a few minutes as I was so shocked.
