Thankfully, working smoke alarms activated quickly, giving the occupants vital early warning. Everyone got out safely and called 999.
Watch Manager Glenn Jackson said:
βThis incident shows just how important working smoke alarms are. Because the smoke alarms activated at the first sign of the fire, the occupants were able to get out quickly and call 999, which prevented the fire from causing more serious damage.β
