Dad and three kids 'homeless' after house fire, a day before his birthday
Friends of a man who lost almost everything in a house fire on his birthday are rallying to help him start again.
Dan McLellan, a father of three, was at his rented Woodend home when his house was engulfed in flames on Thursday night. He had been due to celebrate his 42nd birthday the following day.
McLellan had insurance but is waiting for his claim to be processed.
"The only thing that upset him was he lost all his photographs and he will never be able to replace them," friend Damian Allan said.
Allan has set up a Givealittle page to raise money for the family.
