Rand West Emergency Services Fire Chief Benny Mohlabeng said they received a call about the fire at about 03:22 on July 8. When they arrived the roof had already collapsed and they proceeded to fight the blaze.

According to Biance du Toit, a mother of three, the family is currently staying with her parents while looking for a place of their own. Not being able to salvage belongings as they fled the house for safety, the family is in desperate need of blankets, clothing and anything regarded as a necessity to help them. Most importantly, Du Toit’s son sadly lost his diabetic machine in the blaze.
If any person is willing to help the family whatsoever, contact Du Toit on 066 297 4699 or visit her at the Greenhills SPAR where she is employed.
