Next door had an unexpected electrical fire, which spread through to our roof. It took the firemen 15 minutes to break down the front door to get in!!

Here are some of the photo’s on the day.

Luckily, it was the middle of the day and nobody was at home. It took four fire appliances, 90 minutes to put the fire out.

We got booked into a hotel in Durham city centre. We needed to get a family room, with having two small children and we were lucky to find one!

Then, lo and behold, 10:30pm that night, the fire alarm goes off! The kids were in bed and the wife was in the bath!! Oooh the irony….!!

Cheers

Graham
