A tragic house fire struck the Henderson family in Gold Coast just days before Christmas, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The inferno ignited around 3 am on Colorado Circuit, believed to be the result of an electrical fault, and was so intense that it woke neighbors with loud explosions. Kalindi Henderson, the mother of three, captured the harrowing moments of their escape, as flames rapidly engulfed their home and caused the roof to collapse. In addition to their home, the family lost Christmas presents and irreplaceable sentimental items that Henderson described as 40 years of her life going up in flames. Investigators are probing the cause of the blaze while the Hendersons temporarily stay with family.

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to provide financial support for their recovery and rebuilding efforts. Despite the overwhelming loss, Henderson expressed gratitude for her family's safety, stating, "We're all okay, that's the main thing. " This heart-wrenching incident underscores the risks of electrical faults in homes, especially during the holiday season.
