There was like a clearing in the smoke and in front of us were five tiny children.

One was even in a nappy.

And at the time, if you'd asked me, I wouldn't have been able to tell you whether there were three, four or five children.

All we saw was this little bundle of little people standing there with no one around them.

And your instincts immediately as adults take over.

So we ran to them and we just scooped them up in our arms, not knowing what the hell we were going to do with these kids or where we were going to go.

And then again, out of nowhere, out of the smoke came this car.

We opened the back door and we just threw the kids in the car.

And then we realized there's no room for us.

It was a small car.

So we begged them to open the boot, which they did.

And Brian and I climbed in.

And then the car took off at a serious speed.

and I used my left hand to hold on to the boot to try and pull the boot over us, but because we couldn't close it shut fully, but as we were doing so, the flames were just stilling the boot.

They were coming in.

My hair, I had long hair extensions from the wedding, and my hair had totally gone on fire at this stage and was just eating my face.

I can remember feeling that my eye, my left eye, was just beginning to close.

And...

my dress was on fire again.

So that's how quickly these flames were popping in on top of us.
