A dad lost all of his belongings when his home went up in flames - just months after his daughter escaped a blaze at her own home.
Paul Robison woke up to his two fire alarms going off and discovered that his living room was on fire. The 48-year-old managed to escape from the property and his neighbours smashed the back door to save his 10-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Bolt.
Five minutes after Paul and Bolt left the house in Berwick, Northumberland, there was an explosion which smashed the windows.
