A pregnant mum-of-one was forced to climb out of her one-bedroom flat when a fire broke out in the hallway of her block.
Becca Owen, living at a block of six flats on Hargate Walk in Kirkby, was woken up at around 4am when her neighbours banged on her bedroom window telling her and her daughter to escape. The 23-year-old climbed out the window of her ground-floor flat with her daughter Skyler to escape the possibility of the flames breaking through into their home.
Becca told the ECHO: "It was terrifying. It's been a big shock and it's not really sunk in properly. My daughter has a really bad chest.
