The fire which claimed the lives of 6 people a couple of weeks ago in a tower block in Camberwell has been found to have been caused by an electrical fire after a portable TV was left plugged in.
What a terrible way to die six lives snuffed out so pointlessly, among the dead was a six year old and a three week old baby both girls, this should remind us of how dangerous day to day appliances in our homes are, many of us are guilty of being lax where our own safety is concerned, after all where could you feel more safe than in your own home, let this be a reminder to us all of the importance of being vigilant.
Fire safety officers point out that all TV’s whilst not being used should be unplugged at all times. Most people have a ritual at bedtime where they check that doors and windows are locked , for the sake of your family’s wellbeing add switching of the TV at the plug to that routine.
