Well, what it appears, and we can only base this on the pictures that we've seen, is that the flames ran up the outside of the building.

Now, Emmanuel did say that he wanted to go in and his mother screamed at him not to because she could see the flames and obviously there was that danger.

But thankfully, this family, five of them, did manage to jump out the second floor window and were caught by Emmanuel and the other neighbors.

Now, one of the older girls wasn't fully caught and she did hit the ground.

and also they sustained a lot of cuts from the glass of the broken window and when they did make it out they were really upset because their mother was still stuck inside in the house and Emmanuel was trying to calm them down he kept saying look we've called the fire brigade they're coming your mother's going to be all right but you can imagine you know the terror for you know relatively young children and knowing your mother is still stuck inside in that house but thankfully the DFB

got there they managed to put it out and they managed to get this woman who's in her 40s out of the house and to safety.

Yeah, well, I suppose the thing is, if you're looking at the pictures, if you throw an accelerant on anything, you know, and it is a petrol bomb that's believed to have caused this, you know, and that explodes, it is going to catch a light.

Well, that's what's strongly suspected.

That's the line of inquiry that we've been told is the main line of inquiry that Gertie are pursuing.

There is an individual who's living in that estate.

He's a member of the traveling community and he has been involved in...

Basically a feud that's played out in social media over the last six months.

I think the first incident in this was last July.

There was an incident where two cars pulled into the estate.

A number of masked men, they jumped out.

They were carrying implements.

Couldn't really see what they were in the video of this attack.

But they smashed down the windows of this man's house and they also smashed down the windows of an innocent neighbor's house.

The innocent neighbor being the people who were actually caught up in this arson attack last week.

And then you see one of the assailants get back into the car and he reverses his car three times into the front of this man's house.
