A woman left homeless after a house fire has issued a warning about the household appliance that sparked the flames.
Tanya Bennett, 36, was told by firefighters her vacuum cleaner had set alight after being plugged in for 18 hours.
The terrifying blaze took hold with her three dogs trapped upstairs whilst she was at work on Monday.
Luckily, a neighbour raised the alarm and firefighters managed to rescue French Bulldogs Lewi and Monkey and her Cockapoo Luna from the burning property.
Every room in the house other than the kitchen suffered fire damage, with Ms Bennett estimating it will cost thousands to replace all of her furniture and redecorate.
