A woman in Jaywick is worried about losing her home after a fire incident that affected ten properties in the area. Sarah Power, 53, who lives near the house that caught fire, woke up to smoke and the sight of flames. Thankfully, the house was empty as the owner had recently passed away.
Residents suspect that the fire may have started from a bin fire. Sarah had to evacuate her four dogs, including one that is pregnant, to ensure their safety. She is concerned about losing all her belongings and her home, especially since finding a new place that allows four dogs can be difficult.
The community came together to support each other during this difficult time. Sarah expressed her gratitude for the help she received, such as someone providing cold towels for her dogs. She highlighted the strong sense of community in Jaywick, where doors are always open, children play safely on the streets until late at night, and everyone is willing to help each other in times of need.
Sarah also mentioned the homeowner of the house that caught fire, noting that this was her second house fire, neither of which was her fault. She expressed sympathy for the homeowner’s situation.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and solidarity during challenging times. It also highlights the need for fire safety measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Residents like Sarah are hoping that their homes will be saved and that they can continue to cherish the strong sense of community that Jaywick offers.
