Most
of the family’s pets, including two dogs and four guinea pigs, were rescued but
a cat was missing.
Neighbours
could do little but watch.
“I
feel sick,” said one neighbour. “She has lost her home. First day of school for
the kids. They won’t even have school clothes.”
Damage
to the unit was extensive. Officials say it would appear the fire started
inside the home, possibly in the utility room.
