Heartbroken father who ran through housefire to save sons gives emotional interview
<p>Heartbroken father Nathan Perry who ran through a housefire to save his sons has given an emotional interview about the moment that will haunt him forever after one of his boys tragically succumbed to his injuries.</p>
<p>Mr Perry was asleep when he woke to find his home full of smoke on Tuesday, and when he noticed a flicker of light coming from his son’s bedroom he rushed down the hall.</p>
<p>“I knew it was a fire straight away… I guess I made a mistake by opening the door and letting the air in and that’s when (the fire) went berserk,” he told <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="https://www.9news.com.au/national/2017/11/16/19/54/parents-of-young-boy-killed-in-queensland-house-fire-speak" target="_blank">Nine News</a></strong></em></span>.</p>
<p>Mr Perry’s sons, Jeremy and Blade, sustained serious burns to 90 per cent of their bodies before they were taken to the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in serious condition.</p>
<p>Blade’s life support was switched off on Wednesday and he passed shortly after.</p>
<p>“I ran through the flames and grabbed the children out, did what I could, feel like I failed with Blade because he didn’t make it,” he continued.</p>
<p>“I’m heart broken, my two beautiful little boys… and my world’s never going to be the same again.”</p>
<p>He added: “It will haunt me forever.”</p>

<p>The boys’ mother Tamika Frid said her world would “never be the same.”</p>
<p>“I never ever experienced anything so bad in my life till the day we had to turn the life support off on our son, the worst day,” she said.</p>
<p>“I just wish everything was just a dream and you could just wake up everything can be just better again.”</p>
<p> “He’s going to get through this, his brother’s right next to him … telling him you can do this, you do this,” she said.</p>
<p>“Our bright little boy from the bush.”</p>
<p>Our thoughts are with the family as they struggle through this. </p>
