Your home is a place of tranquillity, relaxation and family time; it is where all of your sentimental items are kept and where your pets and family live together. Fire safety is, therefore, essential in the home. However, it is something many homeowners and landlords push to the side and never come back to.
Gorleston House Fire, January 2018
On the 28th January 2018, a fire broke out in a home located in Gorleston, England at around 11:30 am. Fortunately, no residents were in the home, and quick-thinking neighbours rescued the two family dogs once they saw smoke rise from the property.
Once firefighters arrived at the scene, it became evident that the blaze ripped through the house quickly. Local residents were told to close their windows and doors while alerts were put out on social media platforms informing people to avoid the area due to thick clouds of smoke.
The blaze was not easy to tackle and firefighters struggled to extinguish the flames. In fact, two firefighters were lifted above the house on a aerial platform ladder in an attempt to control the flames. This appeared to be a successful strategy and the blaze began to minimise.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, and the family have not been able to enter the premise since.
The Importance of Smoke Detection in Residential Properties
It goes without saying that domestic smoke and heat detection must be present in every home to provide ample time to act or evacuate. Eurofyre offer a cost-effective and reliable solution to protect your property from fire.
