A Nottinghamshire neighbour has recalled the moment a family banged on her door for help in the middle of the night after their home caught fire. The family of four managed to escape their bungalow in The Crescent, Woodthorpe, when it went up in flames at around 3.30am on Monday, June 26.
Firefighters were called to the home after the blaze spread through the property from the kitchen. Charlotte and Ed Pullen, who live next door, called 999 after the family rushed out and knocked on their door.
"I heard noises and thought the house was being burgled," recalled Mrs Pullen, 48. "I peered out the window and realised they weren't being burgled at all.
