'Firework killed my family and destroyed my life', says London father

In the afternoon we prayed at home together, then we went to the gurdwara in Southall and visited with some family nearby. We all had dinner together and put the children to bed ready for school the next day. Shortly after that, I saw the fire. I tried to go upstairs to help my family, but I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up, the whole house was on fire.
