TERRIFYING

Thug comes close to causing carnage after throwing a petrol bomb at the wrong home

- BY RUTH SUTER

Lisa told the Record: "It was terrifying. I woke up and looked out the window to see the sky turning red.

"I got up wondering what was going on and then I could see flames pouring from downstairs.

"My first thought was to get Abbey out. Had I not woken up when I did, I'm not sure if we'd be here today. The flames were travelling up from downstairs and past my window."

Incredibly Lisa, 44, and Abbey, 16, escaped any injury or smoke inhalation.

After fleeing, they stood outside and watched the flames ravage their home while firefighters fought the inferno.

Lisa's youngest child Toryn, seven, who has respiratory issues, was away from home when the fire took place.
