Emily Becconsall and her two children managed to run free of the burning building, but almost all of their possessions were lost to the flames. This includes furniture, clothes and most of the children鈥檚 toys.

The trio are staying with a family member while they get back on their feet 鈥� but Emily is warning others to make sure they have contents insurance.

The blaze started in a cupboard and was caused by an electrical fault inside an immersion timer.

Emily told 蜜芽传媒 Surrey: 鈥淲e鈥檙e lucky to have got out because if that had happened in the middle of the night, where the two bedrooms are either side of that cupboard, I would not have been able to get past and get my children. So I鈥檓 thankful it happened when it did, but it鈥檚 still an absolute disaster.

鈥淧anic just takes over everything. You have these things, 鈥榃hat would you take in a fire?鈥�

鈥淲ell the kids were one and I think I just grabbed my phone because I knew I needed to call family and that was it. Your mind goes blank when you鈥檙e put under that sort of pressure.

鈥淵ou don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 ever going to happen to you and when it does: you鈥檙e not prepared.鈥�
