Families who lost their homes in a devastating fire have said they are "in turmoil" while they absorb the extent of the damage and adapt to new living arrangements.
Nineteen homes around Three Springs Road in Pershore, Worcestershire, were affected by the blaze on 13 August, as several fires swept through areas of the West Midlands on the same day.
Resident Mike Ruff said he, his partner and three children were living in his brother's living room, while neighbour Roy Candlin and his wife and two children were using an Airbnb. Both families may have to wait up to 18 months before they can return home.
"You wake up every day and you actually can't believe that it's happened to you," Ruff said.
The fire, which started at about 16:30 BST, led to 30 homes being evacuated and caused 200 to be without power for several hours.
