Yesterday, a SUNNINGDALE couple fainted after their house caught fire and destroyed valuables worth thousands of dollars.
The anonymous couple discovered their house’s roof in ashes.
Neighbours broke in and removed a few items from the raging fire, including furniture and clothing.
There was nobody injured.
Residents placed their lives in danger by taking turns putting out the fire with buckets of water before the firefighters arrived. An electrical fault is thought to have ignited the incident.
Neighbours arrived after the smoke cleared, H Metro reports.
“We woke up without electricity today and we strongly suspect that one of the house occupants left something on,” said one of the neighbours.
“I rushed to the scene, when smoke engulfed the area, and saw where it was coming from. We were quick to call the fire brigade but they found the roof had already collapsed and a lot of things had been burnt to ashes.”
