A woman has set up a fundraiser after her brother "lost everything" in a fire at his flat.

Katherine Thorburn, 36, from Bournemouth is appealing for help for her sibling who was rescued from a burning flat in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Jacob Jessopp, a 22-year-old student, who lived on Jewell Road, in the coastal town, said he was unable to afford contents insurance and now "everything is gone... it is as bad as it can be."

He is currently staying with friends, while working with the housing association to be rehomed.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) said it was called to the blaze at the property in Bournemouth, at 01:07 BST on 13 July.

The fire service said crews found the building - consisting of a One Stop convenience store and a residential flat - alight.

DWFRS said the cause of the fire was being investigated.
