Family loses home in Wythenshawe fire as investigation begins

Carly Thompson and her two children lost their home in a fire on January 7 in Wythenshawe. The fire started in the kitchen, quickly spreading, but they escaped thanks to a neighbor who closed the living room door, limiting damage. The kitchen was destroyed, and most of their belongings were lost. Carly and her children are currently staying with her mother while they await relocation. Carly has set up a GoFundMe to help them recover. An investigation is ongoing, with Carly believing the fire may have started near the boiler. She expressed her devastation over the loss of their home and the impact on her children, especially her son, who struggles with change.
