FIRE STRUCK NIUEAN FAMILY TWICE
Date: 23 February 2007
A Niuean mother of five has today spoken about the nightmare second fire she and her five children have experienced in nine years.
Isobel Noue and her children were at home when the fire broke out on her back porch house in May Rd and it was thanks to her 16-year-old daughter smelling smoke that they got out.
The Mt Roskill mother says the alarm hadn't gone off because the fire had crept through the roof, so it hadn't been picked up.
Isobel and her children, the youngest is four, have only just got themselves together since the first fire.
That fire was also in Mt Roskill and was started by one of the kids playing with a lighter their boarder had left lying around.
Isobel says if it wasn't for her daughter going to the kitchen to get a drink of water, they wouldn't have spotted the fire on the back porch.
