My Story - Sheerness Glasshouse Fire

[@chaosfive55]

I have no words....so grateful you're all still with us!!!

[@paulshipley8328]

absolutely breathtaking. my partner (sue chris (paul's) mates mum) were sitting here with tears in our eyes. such an honest telling and an insight into what really happened that day. thank you and wishing the both of you a full and speedy recovery.

[@donnageorge-henderson5419]

What a relief Craig knew what to do and you were both near windows. Amazing how quick fires take hold and so lucky all 3 survived. So good to see a strong friendship and in bad times you're still all together - you wouldn't trade that for the world. Here's to a speedy recovery :)

[@tp2fly]

An amazing video that actually brought a tear to my eye. I work with Paul at Asda . So glad you are all still with us xxx

[@kirstysawyer2927]

It's nice to know that they get a certain sense of closure in knowing we are all doing okay now. I really appreciate your support, thank you

[@SleeplessNonja]

This brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy you're okay, Kirsty. I'm glad you stayed strong. Well done.

[@CW_Gaming]

I remember that day when I was walking from school and saw the fire. I'm so glad your all alright.

[@xFoxxehx]

Woah, took my breathe away. I mean it seemed so ... un-real at the time. No-one quite knew how bad this was, and of course rumours were spread around work about Paul being injured. I'm just happy everyone is alive. Such an emotional and unreal experience i'm sure. Amazing how no-one died it really is. I wish you all the speedy recovery, and think it's absolutely amazing how tight your friendship is. I hope that is something you guys never lose, all the best. - Rich ~ x

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so much, it was an amazing feeling seeing Paul again for the first time :)

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so much. I will always be in debt to the emergency services for their incredible work that day :)

[@kirstysawyer2927]

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so much. It means a lot to all of us

[@marrison13]

What an event! glad your all on the road to recovery, stay safe and sending much love x

[@kirstysawyer2927]

+Colin Marrison Thank you so much. Almost three years on and still having to deal with it daily. I have bad breathing problems due to the extent of the damage caused by severe smoke inhalation. My voice hasn't come back to what it used to be, but it is strong enough to speak so I can be heard. Always battling it, but I'm just thankful to still be alive.

[@iansam6968]

I am so glad you are all on the mend. I agree with you whole heartedly. Our emergency services are great! Gawd bless yer all!!!

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Ian Sam Thank you. Still damaged, but at least I'm alive! Owe them my life

[@bonkers5000]

Soo powerful x well done x soo glad you have each other! X

[@charlotteking7664]

It was horrible finding out through people who were trying to drive home. One of my teachers know you, and we collected stuff for the people in the adjoining flat that had the children. We were given regular updates on how all of you were doing. Get well soon.

[@LORDMAXSTEAD]

A truly remarkable story of friendship fighting for survival against the odds, I trust each of you go on to make a full recovery and the persons no matter the age of the arsonist should be charged with attempted murder, I for one wish you every success in your recoveries each of you. I also trust the police are able to locate and have success in the prosecution of those responsible for your suffering.

[@kirstysawyer2927]

LORDMAXSTEAD The case has been shelved now, they got away with it unfortunately. Thank you so much for your kind words, though. Means the world

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you ever so much. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, all the people they had have been released without charge, I suppose it's expected with a fire as it obliterates any physical evidence in it's path

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so so much. It means a lot. Unfortunately, all the people they had have been released without charge, I suppose it's expected with a fire as it obliterates any physical evidence in it's path

[@phyllissmith1534]

I am so sorry that you and your friends had to go through all of that-and so glad you all survived! Did they catch the person[s] that set the fire?

[@djrippin1]

wow, great video.. i never knew it was so bad..glad you are all ok..

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Yeah, it was really serious. It's been just over 3 years and 3 months, and every day I'm still constantly suffering with severe breathing problems now because of the smoke inhalation damage. My voice never came back properly, I have permanent vocal dysphonia due to the damage to my larynx. And the burns are all healed now, just have a lot of nerve damage and discomfort.

[@chatterjee35]

Ron Selfe, who was one of the firemen, came to our school and he showed us this video. We all now realise how bad fires can be.

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Sanjay Chatterjee wow, I had no idea they showed it to anyone. It'll stay with me for the rest of my life. I can't get away from it, unfortunately

[@amy28081985]

Stunning way off sharing such a horrible story. I'm so glad everyone survived xxx

[@kirstysawyer2927]

You're welcome, thank you for watching

[@ChloeKendall8]

Oh my days... I go to Sheerness all the time and I hope you're all okay now

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Still suffering with severe breathing problems as a result of the smoke inhalation damage, but I'm alive, so shouldn't complain.

[@survak]

Glad your all doing so well

[@TroubledPhoenix]

Thanks for sharing your story.

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so much for your support, unfortunately all the suspects have been released with no charge as they don't have enough evidence. I guess that's just the way it goes with fires, they obliterate everything, so there's not really any evidence

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so so much. It means a lot to us

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you ever so much. Really appreciate it :)

[@kirstysawyer2927]

Thank you so so much. I really appreciate it

[@ChrisRoberts2012]

Wow what a story. I believe God saved your life that day and that he will use this video to save others through you. Good on ya. Get well soon.

[@kirstysawyer2927]
