It's not just the fire
"Everyone said to us how horrific the fire must have been and it was," says Carole Patrick, whose children were nearly killed in October 2000.
"But the aftermath in many ways has been far worse. Just finding somewhere to live when your home has been gutted is an ordeal, then sorting out the rebuilding and decorating on top of that trauma has been dreadful."
