A pregnant woman, her husband and their three children are being forced to live in a single bedroom after a fire damaged their home.

In June this year, a fire at the property next door caused water and smoke damage to the Turcan's house, near Ashford.

Luckily, no one was injured by the flames, which completely destroyed the roof and first floor of the neighbouring property.
