    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">FORMER basketball star Luc Longley wept as he told today of his family's escape from a fire that destroyed their $2 million home in Fremantle, south of Perth.

    The former Chicago Bulls player managed to get his partner, his two children and their two friends out of the family home in Montreal Street before it went up in flames about 3am (WST) today.

    The converted industrial premises was well alight by the time fire crews arrived but all five occupants escaped without injury.

    "I was asleep and heard a bang, an explosion, and it was already on fire and got the kids out," he told Nine News at the scene.

    Crews were able to stop the fire from spreading to an adjacent garage which housed up to five of Longley's vehicles, but the home was left gutted. </div>

    Good looking out for Longley. Hope his basketball memorabilia like his 3 championship rings with the Bulls didn't get destroyed.

    I'm pretty sure if your rings get destroyed they will replace them for you. Hopefully, the insurance will cover the cost to restore his home. Glad no one got hurt.
