A FAMILY of four with twins on the way have "lost everything" in a devastating house fire. Niamh Wythe, 33, was at work when she received a worried call from a neighbour to say they could hear an alarm going off and the dog barking at their home in Fleet, Hampshire.

In a panic Niamh, who was six months pregnant at the time, called her husband Aaron, 35, who was out running, unaware of the fire burning down their home. The mum-of-two revealed how she saw plumes of smoke were rushing out the windows when she returned home to the fire.

She told The Sun: "By the time I got there I could see smoke coming out the windows and everything else. "I kind of went into panic mode because I knew that our dog and cat were still in there. "I got up the stairs as quickly as I could six months pregnant with twins - but when I got up and opened the door I kind of expected the dog to run out.

"I don't know what I was thinking. I opened the door and it was just this wall of black smoke. "It was really really thick and really heavy, you just couldn't see anything. Obviously I didn't go any further.". Thankfully, Elizabeth, 6, and Vincent, 4, were at school but the families two cats and dog, Major, were still trapped.

Aaron rushed in to save the pets but "you just couldn't see anything", Niamh relayed. She continued: "You kind of just have to stand and watch it. I don't know what else you're meant to do. "So you're literally just watching it happen.". Niamh recalled the moment the fireman came out from searching the house: "When the fireman carried him out I've never been so happy to see his silly little face - I was like 'you've just frightened the life out of me'.
