A devastating fire has left a St. Andrews home in ruins, with nothing left but charred remains.
The fire broke out in the early hours of the morning, with flames quickly engulfing the entire house. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find the home completely engulfed in flames, making it impossible to save.
According to officials, the homeowners were able to escape the blaze unharmed, but their beloved home was a total loss. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started in the kitchen.
Neighbours reported hearing loud explosions coming from the home, which may have been caused by propane tanks stored in the garage. The intense heat and flames also spread to a nearby shed, destroying it as well.
Firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to neighboring homes. Despite their efforts, the home was completely destroyed, leaving the family with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
The community has come together to support the family during this difficult time, offering donations and assistance in any way they can. The Red Cross has also been contacted to provide aid to the family.
The St. Andrews Fire Department is reminding residents to always have working smoke detectors in their homes and to regularly check them to ensure they are functioning properly. They also urge everyone to have a fire escape plan in place and to practice it with their families.
As the investigation into the cause of the fire continues, the family is left to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
