\u201cOns kon dood gewees het, maar die Here was met ons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was die hartroerende woorde van Anthea October nadat sy en haar huisgesin van \u2019n vlammehel, wat hul familietuiste in puin gel\u00ea het, ontsnap het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voorval het verlede Donderdag (21 April) kort n\u00e1 middernag by Kerkstraat 16 in Somerset-Wes ontstaan en die erfenisryke woning wat op sendingterrein in die gemeenskap gele\u00eb is, verswelg. October se bejaarde pa, Herman Titus, wat in die brandende huis vasgekeer was, is deur brandbestryders gered en met brandwonde in die hospitaal opgeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Emosionele October het Maandag aan DistriksPos<\/i> ges\u00ea sy, haar 87-jarige pa, haar 59-jarige broer Marius Titus en haar k\u00earel, Ryan van Deventer, was tuis toe die brand uitgebreek het. Haar 21-jarige dogter, Althea, wat ook saam met hulle woon, het di\u00e9 aand in Macassar oornag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 54-jarige ma van twee onthou hulle het beangs wakker geskrik toe haar pa om hulp geroep het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het onmiddellik opgespring en saam met Marius, wat uit sy slaapkamer aangekom het, ingehardloop. Nie een van ons twee kon weens die rook en vlamme verder as die kombuis vorder nie. Ryan het wel daarin geslaag om by my pa se slaapkamer aan die voorkant van die huis uit te kom. Hy het hom ingehaak en ges\u00ea \u2018kom, ons moet uit\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy pa het daarop aangedring om terug te draai vir sy ID-boekie en losgeruk,\u201d het October vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van Deventer het hy deur die agterdeur gevlug en die man wat in hul agterplaas woon, te hulp gesnel. Hierna het hy die voordeur afgeskop in die hoop om die ander te red, maar dit was tevergeefs aangesien die vlamme te hoog was. \u201cEk het na die slaapkamervenster gehardloop en dit uitgeslaan om by hulle uit te kom,\u201d het Van Deventer vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens October het Van Deventer tot haar en haar broer se redding gekom. \u201cEk het my hande bymekaargesit en in \u2019n skietgebed aan die Here ges\u00ea \u2018ek weier om vanaand hier te sterf\u2019. Ek het my hande na Ryan uitgesteek, wat my wonderbaarlik by die klein kamervenster uitgehelp het terwyl Marius my opgelig het,\u201d het sy vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Deventer het hulle albei wonderbaarlik deur die venster getrek en na veiligheid gehelp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
October het verder herroep toe almal buite was, het hulle eers besef haar pa is steeds in die brandende huis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wou terughardloop, maar brandweermanne wat reeds op die toneel was, het ons gekeer om terug in die huis te gaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcus Gordon, October se oom en die eienaar van die huis, het geslaap toe Vrydagoggend 00:10 wakker gebel is en oor die huisbrand ingelig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het dadelik aangetrek en Somerset-Wes toe gejaag, waar my hart tot in my skoene gesak het toe ek met my aankoms vier brandweerwaens op die toneel aangetref het,\u201d het Gordon ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jermaine Carelse, woordvoerder van die Stad Kaapstad se brandweer- en reddingsdienste, het bevestig hulle het om 00:11 op \u2019n noodoproep van \u2019n huis wat in Kerkstraat brand, gereageer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandweerspanne van Somerset-Wes, Strand, Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass en Milnerton is met drie brandweerwaens, \u2019n watertenker en \u2019n reddingsvoertuig ontbied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brandbestryders Renaldo Duncan en Joswin Lameyer het die brandende gebou ingegaan en \u2019n bejaarde man in die kombuis, waar hy onder die tafel geskuil het, gekry,\u201d het Carelse ges\u00ea.<\/i>\n<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle het daarin geslaag om hom uit die huis te red en buite na veiligheid te bring. Hy is vir brandwonde en rookinaseming deur paramedici behandel en na die hospitaal vervoer.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
