A mum heard the sound of her children shouting as a fire ripped through her neighbour's house.
The woman, who asked not to be named, was about to take her kids to school this morning when they saw clouds of black smoke billowing from a house on Shellingford Road in Huyton. People could be heard screaming "get out" as the fire ripped through the "whole house", while residents in neighbouring properties were also forced to evacuate.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service sent five fire engines to the scene and all residents were out of the property when crews arrived, with no reported injuries. People were asked to avoid the area and keep their windows and doors shut.
