Area Manager Bryn Coleman said: “The scale and intensity of this fire has destroyed a family home.
“Thanks to working smoke alarms, all the family managed to escape the fire. We could have been looking at a much worse outcome if smoke alarms weren’t there.
“I want to remind everyone of the importance of testing their smoke alarm and having one on every level of their home.
