A MUM of four has been left with nothing after a horror blaze ripped through her top-floor flat.

Yvonne Brown, 38, feared she would die when flames burst through the floor of her daughter’s bedroom.

The fire started in her downstairs neighbour’s flat in Kinning Park, Glasgow, and left residents trapped in their properties on July 3.

Yvonne was forced to flee in her pyjamas. She told the Record: “I thought I was going to die. I was terrified I would never see my kids again.

“The fire spread so quickly. Smoke and flames completely engulfed the close within minutes.”

“I had to run down the stairs in my pyjamas into the smoke and hoped I made it out. I feel lucky to be alive. It was the scariest experience of my life.”
