A Scottish family have been "left with nothing" after a terrifying fire caused by a faulty cooker plug resulted in a huge blaze tearing through their home and destroying all their possessions.
Scott Wilson, from Fife, had popped out to his visit his gran with his partner Caitlin Medwik and daughter Kayleigh, when they received a call from a neighbour that smoke was pouring out of the property. Scott, a 23-year-old rope access technician, rushed back home as the family's two spaniel puppies were still inside the building. After heroically rescuing the dogs, Scott could do nothing but watch helplessly as his family home burnt down in front of him.
The Record report that despite the initial heartbreak, Scott and his family have been overwhelmed by the support of the local community in Rosyth. He said they have already been offered furniture and a fundraiser has been set up for locals to donate anything they can to help Scott and Caitlin get back on their feet.
