Shocking images inside Bierley house following fire

Almost £5,000 has been raised for Lauren Bailey's family after her house on Coleshill Way in Bierley went up in flames on Sunday night.

She was at home with her partner and two children, aged six and 11, when smoke alarms first alerted her to the blaze.

The entire house has been left covered in ash following the devastating incident - which Lauren thinks could have been caused by a firework.

The patio, where the fire originated, has been blown out as well as the windows behind it.

Crews from Odsal, Bradford, and Cleckheaton attended the scene just before midnight.

They used six breathing apparatus, three hose reel jets, and a positive pressure ventilation fan at the scene.

"I screamed and got my children out of the property.

"As we got downstairs, all of the windows just blew.

"I was just in shock, is this actually happening?"

A GoFundMe page, set up by friend Jodie Gallagher just over a day ago, has amazingly raised £4,500 at the time of writing.

Christopher Huby said: "I am so deeply sorry to hear of your sad situation. I’m sending you all big hugs and hoping you’ll get everything built back to normal very very soon. Take care and have a lovely Christmas when it arrives."

Lauren added: "I can't thank them enough. It means so much. We have been left with nothing."
