Their Story.

TURNING the key in the door of her beloved family home, Tracy Poskett takes a deep breath and steps inside.
“If ever a house was picked by a family it was this one.
“Since the fire it is very hard even going inside, ten minutes at a time is all I can usually bare,” she said.
On September 14, last year Mrs Poskett was at hospital when she got a phone call to say a fire had started at her family home of 13 years.
The blaze, which police and firefighters believe to have been arson, gutted the house she and husband Craig had raised their three children in.
Youngest son Reed, 17, was home at Park Parade, in Spennymoor, at the time but managed to escape uninjured.

The property was not insured which has made the clean-up and refurbishment nearly impossible but Mrs Poskett is also determined to move back in by the end of the year.
She said the kindness of people in Spennymoor has kept her spirits up enough to believe it is possible.
