'Your life has flashed before you,' is how Kerry Kyriacou describes watching last Thursday's fire in Darwin that razed his and his brother's joinery business, which his father started more than 60 years ago.
"It was like a giant running on the roof. Bang, bang, bang," he said.
After saving two of his classic cars and a work van, he tried to put out part of the fast-moving blaze, before having to flee for his own safety.Mr Kyriacou slept at the now razed warehouse. Mr Kyriacou said he is now not sure where he will be able to sleep long term: he had built a bedroom and living area, now reduced to ash, on the Jolly St lot.Mr Kyriacou, a lifelong Territorianl, says he isn't going anywhere after the business was levelled again.
