A Co Tyrone dad has spoken of his family’s devastation after a house fire which led to their home being destroyed by a faulty phone charger.
Freddie Walters from Newtownstewart said his family were just preparing to head for bed when they heard a large bang from their eldest daughter’s bedroom. She had gone downstairs briefly and when the family went to the room it was already ablaze.
Soon the whole house was engulfed in flames, and with Freddie and his youngest daughter away in England at the time, his wife and other two daughters were lucky to escape the burning building.
