THE 000 CALL 

Georgia, 13 and Ebony, 11, were at home in Melton with their father.

They were feeling cold and asked him to light the fire.

But when the fire wouldn’t light, dad decided to put a bit of petrol on to help it.

He struck a match, the vapours ignited, and he was caught in a fireball.

He ran for the pool and told the girls to call Triple Zero.

This is what happened next.
