A hairdresser has lost everything in a devastating house fire caused by a candle.
Tash Lyall, 28, told the ECHO she was enjoying a day off from her job as a hairdresser when the blaze broke out at her Bootle home. She is now hoping to raise awareness of the dangers of candles.
Tash said: "I'd been doing the usual thing of blitzing the house and I put a candle on. I nipped downstairs to make a coffee and about ten minutes later heard my partner shouting me. The whole upstairs was full of smoke."
