Just a quick story about a thing that happened last Wednesday night, 4th May. Fire at a block of flats, council owned with rumours that the ground floor flat was occupied by drug addicts and the fire may have been started deliberately. Over the weekend I have heard that the flat directly above it was occupied by a friend from school and his girlfriend. Her life support machine was turned off early Friday morning and it is unsure if he will make it through the next week. If he does survive he has to deal with the trauma of being told his 24 year-old girlfriend is dead. None of the flats were fitted with smoke alarms.
Sorry if this seems a harsh post but please if you don’t have smoke alarms, GET ONE. If your parents don’t have one, get them one too. And your grandparents.

 

sorry to here that m8 we have only just got one

 

Shit news mate.

We've got a couple, but one's too sensitive - fart and the fcuking thing goes off

 

terrible news pal, sorry to read it.

Im also paranoid about Fire and bought one for every room when i moved into this house, including some of the new type ones that detect "smouldering" and illuminate the exit routes in your hallway.

Hopefully i will never get a return on that investment...

 

That is awful to hear

Ive got 2 fitted, but i've disconnected the battery in one as i burn things a lot when I cook, should really check the other one more often

 

there was a thread about this a few weeks ago started by a pf user FIREMAN
there a life saver even if they do go off when your cooking BURNING something
sorry to here that news

 

Clare,
Go to B@Q and buy one with a 15 min overide button like mine, they are cool for that affliction we have with cooking. Press a button and its dissabled for 15mins whilst you sort the cooking.

 

Not a very nice story at all sorry to hear this.

We have allways been so paranoid about fire. Even more now since our Baby daughter Katie came along. We have a mains powered detector with batt back up in the house which rules out letting the Batt go flat. When it dose the thing beeps every 15 mins untill you replace it

Should be a leagal requirment nowadays. Every home should have at least one.

 

i cant believe the council own property and havent fitted smoke detectors, somin wrong there

 

its also wrong to house smack-heads in the same block as young couples etc IMO
Can i ask that everyone who reads this gets one.. today. Your clear side repeaters can wait these are much more important
