A family had a miraculous escape after a fire ripped through their home in West Cork last night.
The blaze broke out while the family members were in their home in Rossmore an area between Clonakilty and Dunmanway at around 9pm .
Lucky the occupants managed to escape from the burning building which sustained extensive damage.
Firefighters including crew members from Clonakilty fought the blaze.
The property is situated alongside a house that was gutted by fire after it was hit by lightning last August during severe thunderstorms.
