House caught alight – father and son (4) lose everything

The man went out to the supermarket and came back to his house gutted down in a fire.

A man from Blancheville has just lost all his belongings in a house fire.

It is believed that the fire might have started from a ‘braai’ fire.

Members of the Emalahleni Fire & Rescue and volunteers from the South African Community Crime Watch hard at work.

Mr Jayson van Eeden was alerted that his house was on fire while he was at a supermarket.

“I am more concerned about my four-year-old son who lost his school bag along with his books in the fire. His brand new bike I recently bought for him was also lost in the fire,’ said a traumatised Van Eeden.
