Wainuiomata family lose home and pet dog in early morning blaze
A single mother and her three children are mourning the loss of their possessions and the family dog, after a blaze struck their Wainuiomata home, sparing only the household washing hanging on the line.
Olivia Dudford, who owned the property the family had been renting, was alerted to the blaze by a neighbour.
“It’s just a shell. They’ve lost everything,” Dudford said.
A neighbour, who asked not to be named, was woken to screams coming from the property, and was greeted by “a huge fire”.
