A young family have been left homeless after a fire gutted their Greater Manchester home and killed all three of their pet dogs. Chelsea Stewart and her two sons managed to escape the blaze as it tore through their house in the early hours of April 25. The cause was found to be a children’s Segway toy left charging in the kitchen.
The inferno devastated their council-owned home ‘within 10 minutes’, destroying everything in its path. Tragically, their beloved pet dogs Holly, Peach and Luna did not make it out alive.
The property, on Arrow Street, Leigh, is now inhabitable. Chelsea is currently staying at her mother’s address along with her sons Harrison, 10, and Mikey, five. She was not insured and fears she may never be able to return to her home.
