Just a reminder to everyone to check your smoke alarms. We suffered a kitchen fire earlier tonight - lost possessions and there's smoke damage throughout the house but everyone is ok. To my shame the smoke alarms weren't working so it could have been MUCH worse. Possessions can be replaced - family can't.
The Fire Service replaced our smoke alarms so we can now sleep a lot more soundly. |

Glad you are ok and your right possessions even though they may be precious can often be replaced..
local Fire station personnel will carry out a free home fire safety check and fit smoke alarms if you dont have them..

They only do that if you qualify in Wiltshire. If you have young children they do...i know that much. It's a fantastic service  |

So glad you and your family are safe.
Fire in the home is a real wake up call if you get away with it.
We had a chimney fire earlier this year resulting in me lining the chimney within days.
Great post OP.
Be safe fabbers xx |

It was the dishwasher. It was put on before everyone went to bed so thank goodness the fire started before we did or it could have been a very different story this morning. My daughter, son-in-law and their 1 year old son lives here too - everyone was checked out for smoke inhalation but luckily had all got out before any lung damage was done.
The kitchen looks terrible after being on fire and subsequently doused with foam and there's a fine layer of black, greasy soot on every surface in the house but that's nothing compared to what the outcome COULD have been. I was embarrassed at the state of the smoke alarms but the great guys of Hampshire Fire & Rescue replaced them all - I can't praise them enough.
Be safe everyone
