Claire Ryan got word of the fire shortly after 5pm on February 25, 2021. Her neighbour was arriving home from work and mentioned that there was a fire out at The Oaks, the development where Claire had lived with her daughter until a few months previously.
âI handed her my daughter and drove down there straight away,â Claire says.
