A Narooma family had their home completely destroyed by fire last Saturday night, and only the brave actions of the father and his oldest son averted any loss of life. The alarm was raised when an unknown Nowra couple who were driving past saw flames coming from the weatherboard cottage at Kianga Creek, owned by Cyril Parsons. Mr Parsons aided by his son Gregory made several trips into the burning house to rescue his wife Doreen and their other 10 children. They both suffered burns getting the last of the children out. Mr Parsons had only last week finished paying for the home.
The Narooma and Dalmeny Fire Brigades both attended the fire, but were unable to contain the already fierce blaze. An appeal for the family is being conducted by the Narooma Progress Association. Already there has been enough labour promised to rebuild the home.
