A family returned home from a holiday to find a tumble dryer fire had destroyed their home, and killed their cat. The first Jade Beaumont knew of the disaster was when they pulled up outside the house to see the blinds inside the windows looked wrong.
When Jade, 29, took a closer look she could see the plastic blinds had completely melted. While the family had been away for the weekend their tumble dryer caught light, and fire had spread through the property.
The fire had destroyed all the family's possessions, and killed their pet cat Charlie. Jade, who lives with husband Simon, 31, and son Jack, three, said: "We have come back to no home, just the shell of the house. Absolutely everything we owned and the home we built is gone.
