Smoke alarms credited with saving man's life (ABC news Aus) Posted Fri Jul 4, 2008 9:37am AEST

The Fire and Emergency Services Authority says smoke alarms saved the life of a man whose home was destroyed by fire in the Perth suburb of Spearwood overnight. 

Fire investigation officer Phil Cribb says the blaze was sparked by a burning wood fire. 

Mr. Cribb says the man had taken a sleeping pill before going to bed. 

"He's been in a heavy sleep and the fire started and developed well and fortunately he's had smoke alarms fitted in the home and those smoke alarms have at the 11th hour woken him and he's been able to get out," he said.
