A Durham mum has been left speechless by the generosity of neighbours after a fire destroyed her home and claimed the life of her beloved dog.
On Sunday, Caitlin Brook was enjoying a day out with her daughters, Sklya, four, and Cara, one, when she received a panicked call from a friend. She told the mum-of-two that her home, in Catchgate, County Durham, was on fire, with a large team of firefighters attempting to bring the flames under control.
At first, Caitlin couldn't believe what she was hearing. But it soon became clear that her family home of three years had indeed been caught up in a devastating blaze.
