Faithe: From the story l gather they couldnt reach the children through the bedroom doors as the flames and smoke held them back. Then while one parent tried to put the fire out from the outside the other parent tried to get them out again...they had no hope in saving them the flames were just to hot and advanced.
No matter how much damage the flames did to me, my main concern woul be to get my loved ones to safety before worrying about anything else including myself

I agree with Newlife, you never know what you are going to do in a similar situation, and, I hope people dont have to find out.

I havent heard all the story, but saw the burnt out house on the TV.

The poor parents, they will live with the "what if's" for the rest of their livessad flower

What if's are too late, you have to be selfless in these situations like our emergency services workers are every day, they lay their bodies on the line to save peoples lives they have never met. I think it's a combination of adrenalin and a snapping of your brain into a state that just says go get your kids right now, they are screaming, they are calling for you. Your brain must be in the mindset now to do whatever it takes to save them.

From what l understand they didnt worry about themselves, when they couldnt get through the doors, they tried a different approach. The firey's basically said they had no chance of getting the children out, so it must have been really bad. You cant always save your loved ones, circumstances can make it impossible sometimes.sad flower

As in the situation recently on Boxing Day where the TV chef whose name escapes me Golinski??? He lost his wife and 3 children??? I am damned sure he would have tried to everything he could. He has been in hospital since then, couldn't even make it to their funerals last week he is so ill??? teddybear

An absoloute tragedy that no one should have to go thro'.

It's very sad I know Faithe, I would be put into an asylum if I lost one of my girls in these circumstances.

It doesnt matter what the circumstances are when you lose a child...its tragic. To this day my sons death still haunts me, he supposedly just went to sleep but l will never know if he suffered any pain and l will never know if he was he frightened...its asylum stuff.
