## Resource

A harrowing house fire erupted early Friday in Upper Riccarton, forcing a mother to hurl her toddler through flames and broken glass to escape — all while eight others, including a pregnant woman and a dog, were trapped inside. The blaze, which started at the front door and raced through the lounge in under a minute, left everyone miraculously unharmed. Eyewitnesses say the mother’s screams woke the household, and her oldest son helped his pregnant partner flee upstairs. Authorities have charged a 39-year-old man with arson, intentional damage, and multiple drug-related offenses, with court set for August 11th. This chilling incident underscores the terrifying speed of disaster and the extraordinary courage shown in moments of crisis.
