After a serious fire Sunday night that has left homes badly damaged and unlivable, a mother and her 6 children and a pensioner have all been left homeless
Natasha Wallace arrived back to her home in Crecora Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston to find it in flames, her 90 yr old neighbor was trapped in her house and her son managed to rescue her. It seems the fire started in an uninhabited house that may of been used as a drugs den, locals say. Ms Wallace has been forced to check into a hotel with her children Mark, 8, Nadine, 10, Colby, 6, Troy, 3, James Dean, 2 and Taylor, 5.
Ms Wallace was quoted saying ““I am in shock, I just don’t know what I am going to do now. I don’t know whether I am coming or going. I had all my children’s gifts ready in the attic, and they are all wrecked,” the devastated mum said. “The electric is gone. The ESB have told us not to go back in there for our own safety. There is no way we can live there anymore,” she confirmed. Roxboro Gardai are investigating the fire. and can be contacted on 061-214340
