A friend of a distraught woman who lost her husband and daughter, aged 14, in a devastating house fire has said that her "whole life" was in that building, an inquest heard.
Caroline Scott's husband Paul was seen trying to get out of the house in Distington but was overwhelmed by smoke while attempts to rescue teenage daughter Mia also failed due to the intensity of the fire, reported LancsLive.
Neighbours battled desperately to grab Paul (known as Archie) and Mia as their house burned but they were forced to give up after the billowing smoke and fierce flames overwhelmed them.
