"I pulled up the blinds and the whole street was orange. I could see flames coming from a van down the road.”

She added: “I was so shocked and just didn’t expect there to be huge flames in the middle of the street.

“I woke my daughter up to alert her to the danger and by the time we had gone downstairs, the Fire Brigade were already there.”
