Her house was engulfed in the fire that ensued and without the quick intervention of her neighbours, the fire would have burnt her to death but the inferno consumed valuables like chairs, beds, electronics, clothes, wrappers and other household properties.
The inferno badly affected the victim’s face and hands and has been taken to a cottage hospital in the town for treatment.
