He aha te hiranga o te tāuta i te whakaoho auahi ki te kāinga?

I te 2:30 i te ata pea, ka oho te whakaoho paowa i muri i te kitenga i te paoa nui e puta mai ana i te hiko poto i roto i te pouaka whakamātao o te whānau. E ai ki ngā āpiha ahi, ka tere te horapa o te ahi puta noa i te kīhini, ā, ki te kore he whakatūpato wawe, tera pea kāore te whānau i ora.

E maumahara ana a John Carter, te matua, ki te wā i tangi ai te whakaoho. "I te moe katoa mātou i te wā i tīmata ai te tangi o te whakaoho. I te tuatahi, i mahara ahau he whakaoho teka, engari kātahi ka hongi ahau i te paoa. I oma mātou ki te whakaara i ngā tamariki kia puta atu." I tāpiri atu tana wahine, a Sarah Carter, "Me i kore taua whakaoho, kua kore mātou e tū ki konei i tēnei rā. Nui atu tō mātou whakawhetai."

I taea e te tokorua, me ā rāua tamariki tokorua, e 5 me te 8 tau te pakeke, te oma atu i te whare i roto i ō rāua pajama, ā, i mawhiti atu i te tīmatanga o te mura o te ahi ki te kai i te kīhini. I te taenga mai o te Ratonga Ahi me te Whakaora o Manchester, kua horapa te ahi ki ētahi atu wāhanga o te papa o raro, engari i taea e ngā kaipatu ahi te pupuri i te mura i mua i te taenga atu ki ngā rūma moe o runga.

I mihi te Tumuaki Ahi a Emma Reynolds ki te whānau mō te mahi tahi a te whānaupūoko paoaā, i akiaki i ētahi atu kainoho kia whakamātau i ā rātou whakaoho auahi i ia wā, i ia wā. "He tauira pukapuka tēnei mō te hiranga o ngā whakaoho auahi ki te whakaora i ngā oranga. Ka whakaratohia e rātou ngā meneti torutoru e hiahiatia ana e ngā whānau hei mawhiti," tana kī. "I tere te mahi a te whānau, ā, i puta haumaru atu, koinei tonu tā mātou e tohutohu nei."

I whakaū ngā kairangahau ahi ko te take o te ahi he hapa hiko i roto i te pouaka whakamātao, i mura ai ngā rauemi mura i te taha. He nui te kino o te whare, inā koa i roto i te kīhini me te rūma noho, engari kāore he whara i puta mai i te pūrongo.

Kei te noho te whānau Carter ki te taha o ō rātou whanaunga i tēnei wā, i te mea kei te whakatikatikahia tō rātou whare. I whakapuaki te whānau i te mihi nui ki te tari ahi mō tā rātou tere urupare me te whakaoho paowa mō te tuku i te whai wāhi ki a rātou kia mawhiti me te kore whara.

He whakamaumaharatanga nui tēnei ki ngā kaipupuri whare mō te hiranga o ngā taputapu kite paowa hei whakaora i te ora. E taunaki ana ngā āpiha haumaru ahi kia tirohia ngā whakaoho paowa ia marama, kia whakawhitia ngā pākahiko i te iti rawa i te kotahi i te tau, me te whakakapi i te waeine katoa i ia 10 tau kia tino tika ai te mahi.

Kua whakarewahia e te Ratonga Ahi me te Whakaora o Manchester tētahi kaupapa hapori whai muri i te aituā hei akiaki i ngā kainoho ki te tāuta me te pupuri i ngā whakaoho auahi i roto i ō rātou kāinga, ina koa ka tata mai ngā marama makariri, ka piki haere ngā mōrearea ahi.
