Cat alerts owner of trouble next door
People normally speak about a blue Monday, but for one family they really had a blue Monday as a room inside the house caught alight.
People normally speak about a blue Monday, but for one family they really had a blue Monday as a room inside the house caught alight.
On Monday, July 3 at about 07:10 in Celia Street the neighbour’s cat started acting strangely and that is when Ms Rachel Engelbrecht went outside to see what was wrong.
Once Rachel got outside she heard glass break from the house next door and then she noticed the flames gushing out of the bedroom windows.
She immediately notified her husband Mr Hendrik Engelbrecht, who immediately got the hose pipe out and started dousing the flames through the broken window.
Model Park Neighbourhood Watch and the South African Community Crime Watch (SACCW) attended the scene and started helping Engelbrecht as they waited for Emalahleni Fire Department.
They arrived on scene and immediately got to work to extinguish the flames from the bedroom.
