A man from Basingstoke who lost his business in a devastating fire has been paying tribute to everyone who is helping him get back on his feet.
Chris Hall lost his workshop but the fire also destroyed his neighbour's home, so he says he's also struggling with guilt.
However, he told us the kindness of the local community has been overwhelming.
Watch this report by Stacey Poole:
In a matter of minutes, a fire destroyed the lives of two families.
A workshop was reduced to ash and the family home next door was completely gutted.
Chris Hall lost his business and the moment he saw smoke billowing from the workshop is still all too vivid.
Chris has lost about £30,000 worth of tools and equipment but over the past few weeks there has been a steady stream of people offering what ever he needs.
