Mother of three was lucky to had escaped with her young kids from her home that was gutted by fire

A mum and her three young children were forced to flee when a horrifying blaze engulfed their home.

Horrifying pictures show the moment their house turned into a blazing inferno after a faulty tumble drier caught fire.

Although the family escaped unscathed they have been left homeless just a month after moving in.

When firefighters arrived they say huge flames licking up the sides of the building from windows on both floors, while vast clouds of smoke belched from the stricken property.

Fortunately the family managed to escape with their lives but are now homeless.

The fire, which gutted the home in Wantage, Oxfordshire in United Kingdom, started in a tumble drier which suddenly burst into flames.

A spokesman for the Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said that the Thames Valley Fire Control received a 999 call shortly after 7pm on Friday night, alerting them to the severe blaze.
