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. |
