A mum-of-three has told of the moment she rushed back to her home after a neighbour called to say her house on fire. Gemma Willetts said she had to be restrained by firefighters as she attempted to get back into the house to rescue the family dog Bonnie, who miraculously survived the blaze after being carried from the flames unconscious and overcome with smoke.
Now, the community in South Bristol is rallying round the young mum, who is facing months of struggles to carry on with her family life, after her entire family was put up in a hotel in the city centre,
More than £1,000 has been donated to help the family, after Gemma’s sister Joanne started a GoFundMe page. Gemma said the response has been overwhelming.
