\u201cThe fridge was unplugged for six weeks so as she plugged the fridge in to put her stuff in she said she heard like a big uproar when she looked, she ran and she plugged the fridge out and took off the main switch and then it just engulfed in fire and then caused the whole kitchen and everything to engulf in fire\u201d, she explained.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSo kitchen is burnt out, the whole house is like smoked out because it was enclosed so the bedrooms everything in there is just a lot of smoke\u201d, she added.<\/p>
