"In a house fire you might think that the smoke would wake you and give you and your family time to escape. But after just two or three breaths of toxic smoke you're unconscious. Your lungs fill up and you can't breathe. Just like drowning."
Remember that your local Fire and Rescue Service can offer home fire safety checks to vulnerable families and fit free smoke alarms. Contact your Community Fire Safety Team to find out more.
