Last month, not only did one devastating house fire occur in a home in Gorleston, but another was reported in West Sussex. These recent reports of such severe domestic fires only emphasise the importance of reliable fire detection in the home.
West Sussex House Fire, January 2018
On the 26th January 2018, a fire broke out at a two-storey home in West Sussex during the early hours of the morning. The family were present during the outbreak of the fire. However, they, fortunately, managed to evacuate safely.
Two appliances were sent to tackle the blaze and six minutes after being called, firefighters described the building as being engulfed in flames. The fire was well-developed, and both floors were filled with smoke.
After investigation, the fire was believed to have started as a result of a faulty electrical consumer unit located under the stairs. There were no reports of a reliable fire detection system. Following the fire, local residents were advised by the fire department to ensure their properties had efficient systems in place. This case proves how important efficient fire detection systems in the home are.
The Importance of Smoke Detection in Residential Properties
All residential properties must have a reliable fire detection system in place to ensure damage is minimal and all residents are able to leave the building safely. It’s important all fire detection systems are installed and maintained correctly, in order to ensure the safety of family and other residents or visitors. Eurofyre offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for keeping residential properties safe from fire.
