Firefighters from Redruth and Camborne attended following a report of a smoke alarm sounding and a fire in a bedroom.

The small fire was already out when the fire crews arrived and they inspected to ensure the scene was safe.

All the occupants were able to leave the house safely due to the early warning of fire given by the working smoke alarm.

General Fire Safety Advice:
Smoke alarms are essential for every home.

Fires happen when you least expect them, often during the night. They also spread very quickly, damaging property, killing and injuring people.

If you have a smoke alarm, please test it now to ensure that it is still working.

If you do not have a smoke alarm, please follow the link below for more advice.
