The mother with her children was stuck on the roof as flames had overcome their home. Viral video shows Sowden sensibly guiding them down the ladder while passersby held it steady.
A few moments later, firefighters reached, but the blaze had already reached the roof. A third child managed to escape by jumping from the backyard.
