UK woman after family survives two house fires in two years

A woman from England was left devastated after surviving two house fires just over two years apart. After Kayley Hill’s Cheltenham home was damaged by fire in February 2022, she spent hundreds of pounds renovating it, according to the BBC. According to Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service, the fire was caused by an electric can opener.

On April 16 of this year, his kitchen suffered another fire. The family was forced to live with Mrs. Hill’s grandfather while repairs were made. It is worth noting that no one was injured in the accident. Hill, who has three children ages 11, 8 and 6, was shopping when a neighbor called to check on her safety.

She told the outlet: “I was told my house was on fire. It’s been hard to process what happened again. It’s very stressful. I don’t have the money to redecorate again. My oldest son is too scared to go back. After the first fire, he kept checking all the outlets to make sure they were turned off.

A dog was saved by firefighters, according to a fire department official. The fire was put out in less than 30 minutes. “Two fire engines, one from Cheltenham East and one from Cheltenham West were sent to the property where there was a fire in the kitchen. Crews used a hose reel and two sets of breathing apparatus to put it out. The fire caused 40 per percent damage to the kitchen and some smoke damage.”
