A fundraising page has been set up to support a family whose house was ravaged by a fire yesterday (July 7). Emergency services rushed to the blaze in Moordell Close, in Yate, at around 6.30am and three people were rushed to hospital.
A neighbour of the home has now launched a GoFundMe page to help the family who reportedly have a baby due in just five weeks. They are asking people to "help in anyway possible".
The page says: "This morning our next door neighbours house caught on fire, distorted everything and they have a new baby due in 5 weeks. This family have always helped me and my mum they would do any thing for anyone and I want to help them.
