We now have them everywhere as per the Fire Service recommendations. They recommended different types for different rooms too. Their website explains it all. So scary when you realise how easy it is to sleep through. Glad it wasn't a lot worse.<br />xBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071999450731273883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-354901278130173592012-05-08T01:32:49.333+10:002012-05-08T01:32:49.333+10:00EEK, horrible!

That's so scary, shockingly true - you sleep through & the smoke gets you, then the house burns to the ground. <br />When i was little our next door neighbour's house was raised to the ground, enormous fire, but we didn't hear anything until the fire engines arrived. No idea who rang, as the neighbours were away on holidays. My mother turned into instant tea/ coffee/ snacks lady, as you do at 2a.m. she was even baking scones. I will never forget the fire chief walking up our stairs & flicking a cigarette but into our pool area, OMG, no wonder i never ever smoked or had respect for anyone who does, i just can't!!

We have one near the bedroom, but I think we need at least two more - especially thikning of the nights when we have a house full of bodies in various spots when country friends come to stay!jules @ The Diversion Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261889891875232983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-27861127558762531462012-05-06T16:36:32.831+10:002012-05-06T16:36:32.831+10:00Gosh that's so scary, not only being so close ...Gosh that's so scary, not only being so close to you guys but as you say, there being that time delay before you realised what was happening.
