'There's nothing left'
Kelly Harrison Duncuft-Cotteril looked around at the charred remains of what used to be her kitchen. Black soot covered every inch of the room, the acrid smell of smoke still thick in the air.
Kelly had been at home with her husband Michael and four children MJ, six, Evan, eight, Theo, 13 and Katie-Li, 18 when the blaze started at around 4pm on Friday, January 13. “I put water over it and the fire went all in my face,” she continued. “It shocked me and then I was choking. By the time I lifted my head back up, I couldn’t see a thing.
Kelly managed to get her family out of the home before running to a neighbour for help. The neighbour called emergency services while Kelly watched helplessly as her home became consumed by an orange glow. Kelly and her family found themselves homeless following the fire. They moved into a friend’s house before eventually being relocated to a local hotel. Kelly says the council have since found her a new property in Droylsden and she is set to move in soon.
