A couple were left badly burnt after fleeing for their lives when their fireplace exploded, engulfing their home in an “orange fireball”.

Angela Palit, 59, described how she was blown across the kitchen, and thought she was going to die as her hair caught fire and she felt her face burning.

The horror unfolded after she arrived home to Penarth Marina, Vale of Glamorgan, from work and asked her husband, former BBC Wales reporter Nick Palit, 60, to put the fire on so she could enjoy a glass of wine.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has been asked to comment on the blaze and bioethanol fires, such as the one that caused the explosion.

“I caught a fireball really that I was not expecting,” recalled Angela on BBC Radio Wales.

“I was trying to put it out with a damp cloth, and it just exploded at me as I was walking towards it, and just blew me across the kitchen.

“I ended up on the floor. My hair was on fire, my face was burning, I thought I was going to die.

“And then Nick just dragged me out and said ‘we need to get out’.”

It was the speed “that really, really shocked us” added Nick, describing the events of last Tuesday, 16 September.

He described it as a bioethanol fireplace that does not need a chimney flue, where liquid is poured on to a cotton gauze to create a “candle effect”.

“We lit it as we always have done,” Nick added.

“We probably haven’t used it for about five months because it’s been summer, and it started.

Smoke, black smoke was coming off it, which was very unusual, and the smoke alarm went off almost immediately.”

Nick turned the fire off and went to open the patio doors to let the smoke out, adding: “I heard her screaming.

“I turned around and saw her on the floor, I saw her flying through the air, and grabbed her.”

He described how they ran through the garden gate as he dialled 999, saying: “As we were on the phone to the emergency services, within less than a minute it was engulfed in an orange fireball, the whole downstairs of the house.”

The couple were initially treated by paramedics at the scene, then at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, before being sent to the specialist burns unit at Swansea’s Morriston Hospital.

Angela suffered burns to her face and hands, while falling debris left Nick with burns on his arm and elbow.

The couple are now living temporarily in Airbnb accommodation, and have been told by insurers it will take at least six months for their home to be rebuilt.

In what Nick described as a “double whammy”, the couple had four e-bikes, worth hundreds, that they chained together outside their home after the blaze.

When they returned from treatment on Tuesday, they were gone.

“It’s obvious to anyone that’s driven past, that this house has sustained a fire and is probably abandoned,” said Nick.

“Obviously the thieves have come along and they must have had a van and just lifted them up completely and there were four together chained together.

“The security cameras, the security lights, all of that stuff that would normally be protecting it, wasn’t there.”

To add insult to injury, a security tracker alerted Nick to where his bikes were – in a property two miles (3.2km) away.

He arranged to meet police officers at the building, which was a small block of flats that had six homes in it.

“But because we couldn’t pinpoint which one, they weren’t prepared to knock doors to find out,” he said.

So despite being within metres of the bikes, they were not able to establish which of the flats they were in, and recover them.

South Wales Police has been asked to comment on the thefts.

Former President Barack Obama receives Freedom of Dublin City

Former President Barack Obama has formally received the Freedom of Dublin City.

The 44th President of the United States is in Dublin for his show at the 3Arena tomorrow night. He was invited by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ray McAdam, to be conferred with the honour that he was awarded in 2017.

Mr Obama’s wife, Michelle, was also honoured with the Freedom of Dublin City in 2017. Only 88 people have received the honour since it was first given in 1876.

Other former Presidents of the United States that received the honour include Ulysses S. Grant, John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton, as well as international leaders Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev. Irish sporting heroes who have also received the award include Jack Charlton, Ronnie Delany and Kellie Harrington.

Speaking in Dublin today, Mr Obama said: “To Lord Mayor McAdam, Former Lord Mayor Carr, the Dublin City Council, and the citizens of Dublin: on behalf of Michelle and myself, I accept this honor with deep humility. These are, undoubtedly, times of great challenge and great change. But it is in moments like these that we are reminded of who we truly are.

“We are people, the Irish and Americans, who never stop imagining a brighter future for us all. That defiant, enduring hope has always been an unshakeable bond that connects our two countries, and so many others around the world. May we continue to strengthen those ties, and keep working to make our world a little more just, more equal, more prosperous, and more free.”

Lord Mayor Ray McAdam said: “It is my great honour, on behalf of the citizens of Dublin, to confer the Freedom of the City upon President Barack Obama. This award recognises not only his remarkable achievements as President of the United States, but also his steadfast commitment to democracy, equality, and the power of community. President Obama has inspired millions around the world with his leadership and his vision for a fairer, more compassionate society. It is fitting that Dublin now welcomes him as a Freeman of our city.”
