The Morgan-Gurrs

On Sunday night we had a phone call to say that James Steve’s Youngest son, (Kay’s stepson) and his fiance Naomi had been taken to hospital after a serious fire. Because of on going police investigations, I don’t want to say more about the circumstances, but we are amazed and thankful to have them alive and well.
We knew they hadn’t been burnt, but had inhaled a lot of smoke. We were in the dark about what their flat was like.
We got straight down to the hospital and stayed with them until they were moved to a ward.
It took a while to find out the full story of what the flat was like – although the fire was down stairs, super heated smoked filled their flat causing devastating damage, the fire men had to break windows to get water inside to stop their flat bursting into flames too. Add to that ….. the fireman’s boots…….you can imagine the rest!
They have not manged to rescue much, but they have managed to save their most precious things. Very few clothes were rescuable. They were insured, and the housing association are paying for hotel, bed and breakfast, and money for evening meals.
We asked people to pray for peace and a calm approach to sorting things out and that prayer is being answered. Pray for James’s Grandma – it has been a huge shock for her.
