A Nottinghamshire family have been left "devastated" after their home was destroyed by a fire over the weekend. Firefighters were called to a property in Gladehill Road in Bestwood after a fire broke out in the early hours of the morning.
Emily Wardle, her partner and four-year-old daughter were asleep when the blaze broke out but all managed to evacuate safely. However, the house was left in a "complete and utter mess", her younger sister Amy said.
The 36-year-old teaching assistant, who was speaking on behalf of the family to Nottinghamshire Live, said Emily, 40, was devastated. "The house is completely destroyed, there's no ceilings or roof," she said.
