A family lost almost everything after a fire ravaged their home in Manchester. The Cadman family, single dad Colin and his children were lucky to escape after an electrical fault in their flat caused a ‘serious’ fire on Tuesday April 19.
Their home has been destroyed by the blaze, with most of the family keepsakes and the children’s belongings deemed beyond salvageable. Mr Cadman, a single father of six, has five of his children in his full-time care.
The fire was said to have started from an electrical fault in the father’s bedroom. Their eldest son smelt the burning first and alerted his father. Then together they found the flames and quickly escorted their whole family safely out of the house.
