A woman whose flat was destroyed by a devastating fire has revealed the moment she woke to find her home engulfed in flames.
Paige Hope lost everything she ever owned when she left a chip pan unattended in the early hours of July 20. The 29-year-old had not long taken medication which led to her accidentally falling asleep.
To her horror, she woke up choking to find her home full of thick black smoke. Paige tried to jump from her window with her dog Molly but the frame was too hot to touch. Moments later, an explosion flew her forward and she landed on the ground outside – breaking her leg in the process.
