Ms Taylor said she saw a mass black cloud across the road and the fields, calling the scene"apocalyptic".Ms Taylor, who works in a charity shop, said residents who had lost their homes were still in shock but"trying to muddle through". Although the devastation is still"raw", her focus has turned to collecting donations and helping children and adults affected by the fire.
She told Sky News:"My job is more important to try and help other people. I can look at the house after. Right now, we need to focus on everyone who has been caught up in this situation - both Wennington and Dagenham - and get them as much help. This is the start of the school summer holidays."How did the Wennington fire spread?Ms Taylor said some children no longer have toys and bikes that would have kept them occupied over the break.
"If I can get enough information out there, that we can get some toys to try and make that a little bit easier for the children, it makes it a bit easier, knowing you have done that for other people."Image:Her family - including her own sons, Charlie, Alfie and Louie, aged eight, six, and one respectively - stayed with loved ones on Tuesday evening before heading to school on Wednesday for the last day of term.She said:"We can rebuild, carry on, that's all you can do.
