Family 'lost everything' days after Christmas as two houses on same street go up in flames A family has lost "everything" as two houses on the same street went up in flames with residents woken by 'loud bangs' and the sight of large plumes of smoke billowing from the houses over the Christmas period.
The devastating fire has left one family with ‘nothing’ and three people were taken to hospital following the house fires, which occurred on York Street in Garston.
One 54-year-old resident said: “We were woken up to all the sirens and the smell of smoke and we [residents on York Street] all came out to see what was happening and to make sure they were out the house.
One [of the houses] is empty but there is a family in the other one.
However, they added that three people were treated for smoke inhalation and taken to hospital as a precaution.
