A fundraiser has been set up for the family who escaped a house fire in Coalville last week.

Five fire crews were called out to the blaze in Ashby Road on Thursday evening.

Now Nicky Blakemore, from Ibstock, has started a gofundme page to help the family who "have lost absolutely everything".

She says: "Last night around 9pm last night a house fire broke out in the kitchen.

"Luckily my family got out safe with the help of both my daughters and son-in-law.

"One of the cats was brought out by firemen and given oxygen, they sadly lost the other poor cat.

"The whole family have lost absolutely everything.. Please, please help in anyway."
