Horror erupted in this quiet Port Pirie street when a fire broke out at the home of this mum-of-two.
Neighbours recall hearing screams as the blaze took over the house, with a 9-year-old daughter and 14-month old baby girl trapped inside.
‘I saw one flame... like a wall of red flame going across the front of the house,’ one neighbour, Rosemary Fridd, told 7 News.
The girls’ mother is said to have smashed through the glass sliding door of the house and pulled her girls to safety.
Rosemary says the 9-year-old was badly hurt, so she cut her shirt off and ran her into her own house where she ran cold water over her burns.
