A fire destroyed the house of a family of three at Vaitele-Uta last Thursday night, taking with it the family taxi.

No one is thought to have been hurt. Laumata Aso, a 28-year-old mother of one, said she didn’t know where the fire started from.

“I was away with my daughter at the time, my husband wasn’t here too, and when the fire started we didn’t know until someone told me that our house was on fire,” she said.

“I was really shocked when I was told but there is nothing more we can do now.”

Everything inside the house was turned to ashes, representing losses she believes add up to thousands of tala.

“Lucky no one was injured.”

The damages include a taxi which was parked in front of the house.

“To me, all this stuff can be replaced but what matters the most is that my family is alive.”

“We really need help, all our clothes...I mean everything is gone.”

She said that the fire started at nearly ten o’clock late Thursday evening.

“I am not sure how the fire started but as a mother I will make sure that nothing like that will happen again.”

Fire Emergency and Police were at the site when Samoa Observer arrived.

Police could not be contacted for comment.
