Community helps family after fire destroys home

Volunteers are helping to renovate a house so that a family whose cottage was destroyed in a fire have somewhere permanent to live by Christmas.

Olly Room arrived home to his house in Nutley, East Sussex, with his sons in November to find the property alight and 10 fire engines working to extinguish the blaze.

"I can't thank the people around us enough," he told the BBC.

Mr Room said he had run into the fire after arriving and managed to get his family's four pets out but cat Piglet and puppy Zeffie did not survive.
