Save The value of a "hero" neighbour and good fire precautions were realised on Saturday by pregnant mother-of-two Kimberley Riley in Hastings.
She was cooking dinner on Saturday at about 5.35pm on St Aubyn St West when she heard "a loud whoosh" just two metres behind her.
A pot of fat
had caught fire on the stove.
"It just went straight up and I grabbed my son and daughter and went outside - me being pregnant.
"I yelled out, my neighbour turned down the music down and I yelled again."
