Roundhay Family's Struggle for Shelter After House Fire

A devastating house fire in the Roundhay area of Leeds has left a family of four homeless and living out of their car.

The family lost all their possessions in the fire and has been staying in a hotel at their own expense. The fire, which destroyed their home on Grange Park Terrace, was an accidental electrical ignition.
